Aracataca is a municipality located in the department of Magdalena, Colombia. The town gained international recognition as the birthplace of Gabriel García Márquez, the Nobel Prize-winning author who immortalized it as the fictional town of Macondo in his masterpiece "One Hundred Years of Solitude."

The town's cultural heritage is deeply intertwined with García Márquez's literary legacy, and his childhood home has been converted into a museum. Aracataca's history is rooted in the banana plantation era of the early 20th century, which significantly influenced its development and culture. The town's architecture reflects its colonial past and the period of economic prosperity brought by the United Fruit Company. Today, Aracataca maintains its small-town charm while preserving its literary and historical significance in Colombian culture.
