Colombia

  • Magic plankton: experience Cartagena's most impressive natural phenomenon.
  • Exclusive Playa Tranquila: real relaxation away from the crowds of Barú.

Description

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city with our 'quiet beach + plankton' expedition. We'll travel by land to the Barú peninsula to enjoy the crystal-clear waters and white sands of Playa Tranquila, a much calmer area than the public part of Playa Blanca. After a day of sun and relaxation, you'll get to see a cinematic sunset. As night falls, we'll embark on a short sail to the enchanted lagoon to swim among bioluminescent plankton, a natural phenomenon where the water shines with your every move. A magical connection with nature before heading home.

Includes

Round-trip ground transportation. Typical lunch (fish, chicken, or vegetarian). Access to the beach area with a tent or umbrella. Guided tour of the Luminous Plankton.
