Description
After picking you up from your hotel in Cartagena at the time indicated, we'll head out on a 1-hour 15-minute journey to the Baru Peninsula. Along the way, we'll pass the towns of Mamonal, Ararca and Santana. From here, we'll board a boat and travel to one of the Rosario Islands.
Once we arrive at Isla Grande, we'll spend about 20 minutes preparing to snorkel and give you a brief talk about respecting the environment and the importance of the marine ecosystem.
Next, we'll board a speed boat and explore the coral reefs of Isla Grande for 35 minutes and then enjoy a 40-minute snorkelling activity. Are you ready to explore the spectacular marine sea bed?
Afterwards, we'll go to the town of Orika, a community of African-palanquero origin located on Isla Grande. Here, we'll learn about the local culture through their stories and traditions and walk around the area. In Orika, we'll have the opportunity to try the local cuisine with a traditional lunch composed of fish and rice.
Following lunch, we'll return to the speedboat and head to a mangrove reserve on Isla Grande, where we'll make a 30-minute stop.
