This full-day bus tour from Cartagena explores Isla Baru, including a visit to the National Aviary of Colombia and Playa Blanca beach. The tour starts with a hotel pickup between 6:00 am and 7:30 am in air-conditioned transport, followed by a panoramic 45-minute drive through Cartagena city. The route continues across the Baru Bridge, which connects the Barú Peninsula to the mainland and passes near the Corales del Rosario and San Bernardo National Natural Park. The Barú Peninsula was formed about 100 years ago by the construction of the Canal del Dique and includes the towns of Ararca, Santa Ana, and Barú. The first main stop is the National Aviary of Colombia around 11:30 am. Visitors learn about the biology and behavior of various bird species and the importance of preserving Colombia’s native birds. The aviary features 22 exhibits across three ecosystem environments, including immersion aviaries, radial aviaries, estuaries, and lakes. Different landscapes and aquatic environments allow observation of many bird species in conditions close to their natural habitats. Afterwards, the tour continues to Playa Blanca, the only public beach within the Corales del Rosario National Natural Park. Guests walk about five minutes to the Beach Club, where they can relax on sun loungers or explore the clear turquoise waters. The included lunch is provided as a voucher to be redeemed from a set menu. Access to huts, sun loungers, bathrooms, and social areas at Playa Blanca is included without extra charge. The total tour duration is about 7 to 8 hours, and it includes snacks, travel insurance, a bilingual guide, entrance to the aviary, lunch, and air conditioning on the vehicle.
