The mangroves in Cartagena are a unique ecosystem located in the bay of Cartagena, in La Boquilla neighborhood, which is on the outskirts of the city. These are a series of winding channels and waterways surrounded by dense vegetation, and are home to a wide variety of plant and animal species.

The mangroves in Cartagena are home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, which makes this a great destination for nature enthusiasts.
We will be breathing 100% oxygen and enjoying zero noise pollution. We’ll visit the Ciénaga de la Virgen, the mouth of the mouthpiece where the marsh and the sea meet, the Bajamar area, and the Juan Polo Arm.
