Things to do in  Isla Baru

Situated in the crystal-clear waters of the Caribbean Sea south of Cartagena, Baru Island has long been touted as one of Colombia’s most serene beach resorts. It’s the largest and most accessible island in the Rosario archipelago, which is renowned for its pristine coral reefs. The aptly named Playa Blanca is the undeniable highlight, an expanse of powdery white sand perfect for spending a day swimming and sipping tropical cocktails.

Home to around 190 different species of bird, the National Aviary of Colombia harbors diverse flora and more than 2,000 birds. The 17-acre (7-hectare) park categorises birds according to three Colombian ecosystems—tropical rainforest, coastal zone, and desert—and promises an enriching experience for wildlife lovers.
