Mangrove Tour

Escape the vibrant hustle of the Walled City and immerse yourself in the serene, natural beauty of Cartagena’s surrounding ecosystem. This half-day encounter takes you to the Ciénaga de la Virgen (Virgin Swamp) near the fishing village of La Boquilla, a truly perfect place to disconnect.

Keep your eyes peeled for colorful herons, kingfishers, and pelicans as you drift through the calm, shaded waterways.

This tour is a tranquil and intimate journey that reveals a vital, hidden side of the Caribbean coast, offering a deep breath of fresh air just minutes from the city center.
Highlights:
• A quiet canoe ride through the natural mangrove tunnels.
