Itinerário

1. Galle Fort, in the Bay of Galle on the southwest coast of Sri Lanka, was built first in 1588 by the Portuguese, then extensively fortified by the Dutch during the 17th century from 1649 onwards. It is a historical, archaeological and architectural heritage monument, which even after more than 423 years maintains a polished appearance, due to extensive reconstruction work done by Archaeological Department of Sri Lanka.

2. Visit Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project for an educational and insightful tour of the turtle sanctuary and preservation project. This program, which started in 1988, aims to conserve local nesting sites, which are endangered by humans and predators, as well as monitoring the diminishing sea turtle activity in the area.

3. Take a magical speed-boat ride down the beautiful Madu River, a wetland estuary spreading over 900 hectares of which 770 hectares is covered with water and inhabited with 64 islands. The boat ride is a wonderful way to take a closer look at this complex wetland ecosystem; a world heritage site protected by the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands being one of the last wetlands in Sri Lanka to contain a pristine mangrove forest.

About Colombo

Colombo, a maior cidade e capital comercial do Sri Lanka, reúne edifícios coloniais, templos budistas, mercados animados e um passeio marítimo.

Galle Face Green, um longo relvado à beira-mar, enche-se de famílias, pessoas a fazer voar papagaios e bancas de comida de rua quando o sol se põe sobre o Oceano Índico. Perto, o distrito do Forte conserva edifícios coloniais como o antigo Hospital Holandês, restaurado como lojas e restaurantes, e a mesquita Jami Ul-Alfar, de riscas vermelhas e brancas, ergue-se sobre as apinhadas ruas comerciais de Pettah.
