Ciénaga, Colonial port municipality in Magdalena Department, Colombia
Located between Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and the Caribbean Sea, Ciénaga extends across wetlands at an elevation of three meters above sea level.
The Battle of Ciénaga in 1820 marked a turning point in Colombia's independence, with local forces confronting Spanish troops on November 10 of that year.
The Guillermo de Jesús Buitrago Guitar Festival brings together musicians and audiences to celebrate the musical heritage of this Caribbean region each year.
Ciénaga maintains direct transportation connections to Santa Marta, with regular bus services covering the 35-kilometer distance between these two urban centers.
