Ciénaga Excursion

At 6 am, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Barranquilla and board the minibus for Ciénaga, a municipality in the department of Magdalena, located 70 kilometers from Barranquilla. This town inspired Gabriel García Márquez to write 100 Years of Solitude.

During the walk through the historic streets of Ciénaga, we will discuss the town's origins and its economic boom in the early 20th century due to the banana industry. The tour includes visits to Plaza del Centenario Park, the Templete, the Church of San Juan Bautista, and other significant monuments.

Next, we'll proceed to the Cordobita region to visit the Ciénaga volcano, known for its thermal waters with medicinal properties. We will experience a beneficial bath and a mud massage.

Finally, we will return to the minibus and head back to Barranquilla, arriving at 3 pm.
