Description
Be sure to read the Special Notes further down this page for important requirements and restriction.
Nature, wildlife and the Old City come alive on this combination tour. Your tour begins with a scenic drive along the coastline to the town of La Boquilla, the mangrove area located on the eastern side of Cartagena. Here, you'll board a canoe and relax as the captain poles you through the mangrove tunnels and across a shallow lake. This area is rich with waterfowl, so be sure to look for the colorful mangrove crabs and local and season birds. Next, you'll return to the Old City and embark on a walking tour through the colonial town with your guide. Your next stop is Las Bóvedas, once dungeons, now home to boutiques and tourist shops. Shopping for handicrafts and works of art by local artisans is on the itinerary, as is Calle de los Estribos.
Special Notes:
Tour visits an authentic rustic fishing village where despite not being luxurious, the locals are eager to show their way of life. Due to the type of wood the canoes are made of it is normal to have some water inside. Wear comfortable footwear and bring adequate sun protection and a bottle of water. Wildlife sightings, while common, cannot be guaranteed.Child Price:
