Itinerary Mangrove Tunnels Canoe Tour
Escape the bustle of the city for a while! Go for an exotic canoe tour through the mangroves of the Juan Polo swamp full of natural channels and tunnels where you will learn the art of local fishing and where you will enjoy a typical Cartagena lunch.
Did you know that mangroves are a key ecosystem for the environmental balance of many tropical coastal areas and serve as a natural barrier to protect the soil from natural disasters? We invite you to take this ecological walk with your family or friends aboard a typical wooden canoe, led by a local guide.
Once at the fishing spot you will learn how to use the fishing line and how to catch the crabs, after catching some you will take them to the fisherman's house where his family is waiting for us with the wood oven ready to prepare together what has been caught, with rice, fried plantains and salad and enjoy a typical lunch of the region!
The mangrove forest offers a great diversity of flora and fauna. Among other things, you will see different species of birds and crabs and with a bit of luck, a raccoon or a green parrot can appear on the banks of the river.
This ecological tour through the mangroves of La Boquilla, besides being an ideal ecotourism activity to learn about the Colombian ecosystem, immerses you in one of the most exotic landscapes of the Caribbean. Are you going to miss it? Book online!
