Pozos Colorados

Just a short drive from Simon Bolivar International Airport lies Pozos Colorados, a sector renowned for its pristine white sandy beaches. This area, part of the tourist-free zone of Santa Marta, has witnessed a surge in hotel construction and resorts catering to visitors seeking a relaxing Caribbean escape. However, Pozos Colorados also boasts an industrial side. It houses an oil terminal situated on the Caribbean coast, operated by Empresa Colombiana de Petroleos (ECOPETROL). This terminal serves as a discharge point for petroleum products into shore storage tanks. Despite this industrial presence, the area remains a popular tourist destination, offering a blend of natural beauty and modern conveniences.
