Highlights

You will be picked up at the corner of the Juan Valdez coffee shop in the convention center early in the morning, and you will begin your journey to Playa Tranquila, while admiring the panoramic views of the city and the sea. Enjoy a paradise day relaxing on the white sand of Barú Island’s most famous beach: Quiet beach. Unlike all-inclusive tours, you can choose the place you like best and enjoy your day off with activities offered on the beach, such as jet skis, banana boats, kayaking, snorkeling or a massage.

Itinerary
You’ll be picked up and reunited with the group; then you’ll move on to the first attraction.
This beautiful island has three towns: Ararca, Santana and the region of Barú, where fishermen islanders currently see tourism as their main source of income. On this tour, you will only pass through Ararca and Santana; after approximately 5 minutes of travel, you will reach the main attraction. Once in Baru, you will arrive at the main parking lot and get out of the vehicle. It is important not to forget your personal items, as neither the agency nor its staff will be held responsible in case of losses.
Then you will find rustic concrete stairs that will allow you to reach the earthly paradise called Playa Blanca, the flagship beach of Barú Island. Down the stairs, you’ll be in the main sector, known for its high flow of people. To reach the area of Playa Tranquila, characterized by fewer visitors and where the Mandala Beach restaurant is located, you will have to walk approximately 10 minutes along the beach path. Lunch is available in the restaurant at an additional cost.
The guide will tell them the time when they should be prepared to return to Cartagena. If there is no news, the return will be at 15:00pm, they should be ready at 14:45pm.

About Cartagena
Cartagena, on Colombia's Caribbean coast, is a walled colonial port of flower-draped balconies, colourful plazas and warm, music-filled evenings.
The walled old city, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a maze of cobbled streets and squares lined with pastel houses, churches and bougainvillea. The Clock Tower gate leads into Plaza de los Coches, and the cathedral, the Church of San Pedro Claver and the Palace of the Inquisition are all within a few blocks. Walking the thick ramparts at sunset is a local ritual.
Top-ranked sights in Cartagena: Rosario Islands (Islas del Rosario), Old Town Cartagena, Santo Domingo Church (Iglesia de Santo Domingo).
