Ciénaga, Colombia
January 20 marks the day that little Tomasina, a local girl, supposedly was eaten by a crocodile. Her sister went home and told her parents, who went out and tracked the beast down, killed it, and paraded its dead body through the town.

Bright, open town square with benches, shade trees and lots of iguanas roaming around.
Long, wide beach. Lots of palapa bars and restaurants. Good place to chill with a drink and watch the sunset.
