Get ready for a private, full-day adventure to the National Aviary, filled with a combination of nature, discovery, and relaxation, just outside of Cartagena. Our tour begins with a visit to one of the region’s top hidden gems: the National Aviary of Colombia, located on the beautiful Isla Barú. This one-of-a-kind sanctuary is home to over 170 species of birds from across the country, offering you an up-close look at Colombia’s incredible biodiversity. After soaking in the sights and sounds of the aviary, your day continues with some well-deserved relaxation at the stunning Playa Blanca. Known for its powdery white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters, this beach is perfect for swimming, lounging, or simply enjoying the laid-back Caribbean vibe.
We keep things personal and flexible. With a private guide and driver, you set the pace. We handle all the logistics—from hotel pickup to beach access—so you can focus on enjoying the experience. Plus, we time our visit to avoid the crowds, giving you a more peaceful and exclusive encounter with both the birds and the beach. This is more than just a day trip—it’s a refreshing escape into the wild beauty and calm of Cartagena’s natural surroundings.
Our professional guide will pick you up at your respective hotel location or cruise terminal in Cartagena by car or van with A/C. Please let us know what time you would like us to pick you up.
