About this experience
On this tour we will go to a treasure in the middle of all the places on the long white beach, I call it the best place in Barú because they are the most beautiful facilities on the entire beach, you will not worry about being harassed by vendors, the food is delicious, the attention is special and the sea is turquoise.
Then we will go to the Aviary optionally, which is the second largest bird sanctuary in South America. Colombia is the country that concentrates the largest number of registered birds in the world. There you can marvel at seeing endemic birds and exotic birds; flamingos, toucans, macaws, emus, dancing peacocks, etc.
Important Note: We provide this experience in private circles for your safety and comfort. Applies to individual travelers, as a couple or in a group. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
