Description
Enjoy a canoe trip in channels formed by the Cienaga de la Virgen mangrove forests. Head to the heart of the ecosystem and stop at small hideaways.
This 3-hour canoe trip takes you through the channels and tunnels formed by dense mangrove swamp forests at Cienaga de la Virgen. Head into the heart of the ecosystem by canoe with local fishermen, making stops at small hideaways along the way.
Mangroves are a key ecosystem for the environmental balance of many tropical coastal areas, and work as a natural barrier to protect the land from natural disasters.
Families of mainly African origin live in La Boquilla and live from fishing. The contrast between this area and the heart of Cartagena could not be more striking, and that is exactly what makes this excursion so appealing.
Highlights
- Travel to the Cienaga de Juan Polo and the Cienaga de la Virgen lagoons
- Hear stories directly from local fishermen while in the canoe
- Have a refreshing coconut water drink on returning to the dock
