Context

As you leave Cartagena for the Islas del Rosario, or sail through the San Bernardo archipelago to places such as Isla Múcura, the Caribbean reveals much more than its beaches. Beneath the surface, reefs and seagrass beds offer shelter to fish and other species; on the coasts, mangroves sustain another part of that life. Snorkeling or diving with guidance lets you observe up close the colors and movements of this marine world. And back on land, the journey continues on the islands, their landscapes and the communities that inhabit them.

What can you do?

• Snorkel or dive
• Get to know reefs, mangroves and seagrass beds
• Visit islands such as Múcura and the Islas del Rosario
• Get close to local initiatives and marine conservation processes
