On the coast just outside Cartagena are wetlands used by fishermen, and not just the human variety. Birds looking to fish flock here, too! This makes La Boquilla an ideal place for birdwatchers looking for an easy day trip from Cartagena.
You can choose from an early morning departure or an evening departure, both being the best times of day to see native and migratory birds in their natural habitat.
A bilingual guide accompanies you to translate in English what the local guide is describing of the ecosystem of La Boquilla, and how important it is to various types of birds.
The tour goes all through the mangrove and swamp and visits an island where you will encounter even more avian species enjoying their favorite feeding areas, like herons, flamingos, pelicans, and more than 200 other species.
Make sure to wear clothing suitable for going through water, and bring mosquito repellent, sunscreen, and a sun hat or visor.
