Founded in 1721, it is the capital of the department of Atlantico, (1992 est. pop., 1,018,763), a city on the Rio Magdalena in northern Colombia, 16 km (10 mi) from the Caribbean Sea and Colombia's principal Caribbean port. The port ships cotton from the surrounding agricultural region and coffee and petroleum from the interior

Taking the Troncal del Caribe road to the west towards Barranquilla and driving a short way inland you reach the Flora and fauna Sanctuary of the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta. It is the largest marsh lake in the country, rich in fauna and mangrove swamps, and is an excellent spot for bird watching. On the lake there are several settlements notably Nueva Venecia, Trojas de Cataca, Buenavista, and Pajarales.
