Guided tour
Mangroves, birds, rivers and the stilt villages of Nueva Venecia and Buenavista, on a boat tour with a local guide.
Minimum 8 guests. Pending: confirm public price
A 5.5-hour boat tour of the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta, a UNESCO-recognized biosphere reserve: the mouth of the Frío river, mangroves and the stilt village of Nueva Venecia, built on the water. Departs 8 a.m. from the tourist pier.
We visit villages built on the water, where colorful wooden houses and canoes are part of the landscape, and spend time with the fishing community. Part of our income goes to donating water to residents, the area’s main social need.
Not included: alcoholic drinks.
Bring a cap or hat, sunglasses, sunscreen, swimwear and your best binoculars for birdwatching. Please leave no trash and keep the water clean.
