Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta Day Trip

Exotic birds, mangroves, endangered animal species and much more await on our Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta Day Trip. We'll spend an unforgettable day in this incredible Colombian marshland.

Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta Day Trip

At 6:30 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Santa Marta and head to the western part of the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta by minibus. This spot is one of the natural areas surrounding the Colombian municipality of Ciénaga.

We'll start our day trip by visiting the mouth of the Sevilla River. Here, we'll pause to watch exotic birds, such as cormorants, fly over the river. Many cormorants are found in the Magdalena region, particularly near Ciénaga.

If we're fortunate, we'll also see some Northern screamers. This endangered bird is vital for the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta's ecosystem. We'll also observe the mangroves around the lagoon, as these plants symbolize this area.

At midday, we'll have a traditional lunch of fresh local fish. We will then take our minibus back to your hotel in Santa Marta, arriving by 2:30 pm.

Hotel Pickup

This day trip includes pickup from hotels in Santa Marta, excluding the areas of Minca and Tangana.
