The larger seaport seems to be Santa Marta, Colombia so our files will be under this port. SJT SANTA MARTA Founded in 1525, Santa Marta is the oldest surviving colonial town in Colombia. The city was built at the foot of the Sierra Nevada in order to serve as a convenient base to the trade of the well known incalculable gold treasures of the Tayronas.
