At 5:30 am, we'll pick you up from your hotel and head to the dock of Islas del Rosario. From here, we'll enjoy a boat ride through the Cienaga Grande de Santa Marta, a World Biosphere Reserve a few kilometers from Cienaga.

You'll have the opportunity to admire the varied vegetation and wildlife along the lagoons that form the swamp, including small fishing villages known as ''pueblitos palafitos'' (small stilt housing villages).
