What you can expect

  • Enjoy a unique experience for 2 days and 1 night in Nueva Venecia, a village built entirely on the water in the heart of the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta. This tour will allow you to discover one of the most fascinating communities in Colombia, where its inhabitants have maintained for generations a way of life closely linked to fishing and the mangrove ecosystem.

    The adventure begins with a boat ride through the Ciénaga Grande, observing mangroves, birds, and unique landscapes. Upon arrival in Nueva Venecia, you'll walk across its wooden bridges, learn about the town's history, and spend time with local families to understand their customs, culture and way of life.

    During your stay, you'll enjoy a night in a traditional stilt house, taste dishes prepared with fresh ingredients from the region, and experience the tranquility that only this natural environment offers. The next day, you'll continue exploring the community and its surroundings before returning, taking with you an authentic experience of community-based and sustainable tourism.

    This sightseeing tour is ideal for travelers who want to go beyond traditional destinations and connect with nature, culture, and the people who make the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta a truly special place.
