Fue excelente este tour, especialmente el aviario. El show de aves al final quedó impresionante. Nuestro guía Andres Ramirez nos cuidó muy bien. El almuerzo de pescado frito en la playa Blanca estaba muy rico. El restaurante nos dió un trato VIP con acceso a las camas de playa y estábamos en la mejor ubicación de Playa Tranquila. El mesero Carlos nos atendió muy bien en este lugar. Translate this opinion into English.

Foi uma delícia de passeio. O Aviario é muito bonito, bem cuidado, não é muito cheio. Nosso guia foi o Dilan James, que é excelente: muito educado, conhecia bem o lugar e nos explicou várias coisas sobre o lugar, as aves, os cuidados com o parque. Depois fomos à playa blanca, que é espetacular. Comemos bem, tomamos banho de mar, tudo muito gostoso. Recomendamos muito o passeio. Translate this opinion into English.

It was a delightful trip. The Aviary is very beautiful, well maintained, and not very crowded. Our guide was Dilan James, who was excellent: very polite, knew the place well and explained several things to us about the place, the birds, and the care taken in the park. Then we went to Playa Blanca, which is spectacular. We ate well, went swimming in the sea, everything was very tasty. We highly recommend the tour. Opinion translated. Show original.

The visit to the Aviary was very interesting, we got lots of explanations, and we saw lots of birds. We highly liked the fact that it is a place of salvation for many birds, and that they do work in the benefit of in danger species. Playa Blanca is a beautiful place and it was great discovering it.

Realizamos el recorrido con Marcia Perez, se comunicó con nosotros desde el inicio del tour con recomendaciones para el mismo, fue una visita muy amena y divertida, tuvimos suerte de ver al Gallito de las Rocas, dominaba super bien cada especie, todas nuestras dudas de cada area del lugar, y además nos contó de regreso muchas más historias del país. Recomendado para los amantes de la naturaleza Apodamos a "la Princesa Margarita II" una Gruya coronada muy coqueta Translate this opinion into English.

We took the tour with Marcia Perez, she contacted us from the beginning of the tour with recommendations for the same, it was a very pleasant and fun visit, we were lucky to see the Cock of the Rock, she knew each species very well, all our doubts about each area of the place, and she also told us many more stories about the country on the way back. Recommended for nature lovers We nicknamed "Princess Margaret II" a very flirtatious crowned crane Opinion translated. Show original.

Fuimos al Aviario Nacional de Colombia y a Playa Blanca. Nuestra guía Vanessa fue muy amable y nos explicó muchas cosas sobre la cultura y las aves. La comida en Playa Blanca estuvo rica y el lugar es muy bonito. El único inconveniente, y esto no tiene nada que ver con Vanessa, estuvimos más de una hora y media en el bus esperando cpn muestro bebeé, para poder salir de vuelta a Cartagena, porque los buses estaban aparcados mal y era imposible salir. Translate this opinion into English.

We went to the National Aviary of Colombia and Playa Blanca. Our guide Vanessa was very friendly and explained many things to us about the culture and the birds. The food at Playa Blanca was delicious and the place is very beautiful. The only drawback, and this has nothing to do with Vanessa, we spent more than an hour and a half on the bus waiting for our baby to be able to leave back to Cartagena, because the buses were parked badly and it was impossible to get out.

Vanessa is very kind and it's clear that she loves the birds and she loves sharing her passion with guests. She even knows some of the birds personally and they come to her, they land on her arm or her head, and one even demanded scratches! I was lucky enough to have the tour with her by myself, which meant we could move at my pace, something I really appreciated! It was really enjoyable that we were able to do a good bit of the tour in Spanish!

Deyber Ramirez was a amazing guide, helped with pictures, knowing a lot of the birds and make total difference in out visit. zi strongly recommend this tour with Deyber! We aren't native spanish speakers, so Deyber also helped us talking slowly. The beach was great too, but the highest-ranking of this tour is the avario.

The Aviary is interesting enough to be quamified as a worth while excursion Do not have it lead by a guide who is ill which makes the participants fear for contamination. The poor knowledge of english and lacking of scientific foundation detracted from the excusion despite the good efforts of the gide.. Furthemore: include a drink at dinner and transport by lancha in the excursion, compared to the price of the excursion these costs are negligible but it avoids confusion.

No podemos explicar lo felices que estamos con el tour, el aviario superó nuestras expectativas, el almuerzo nos gustó muchísimo y claro el tour con Andres como guía nos encantó, su conocimiento sobre las aves y su servicio durante todo el tour un 10/10. Nos gustó mucho que se tomó el tiempo para que disfrutáramos de cada estación y las fotos son sin duda una sorpresa que nos encantó. Gracias por todo de verdad. Translate this opinion into English.

In generale, non mi piacciono gli aninali in cattività, ma questo parco accoglie anche specie in via di estinzione e gli uccelli sono tenuti bene. Certo vedere un condor e un'aquila arpia in una voliera fa male allo stomaco, ma forse erano animali bisognosi. Da qui siamo andati a Playa Blanca, bella. Per tutto il viaggio siamo stati accompagnati da una guida solo per noi. Una ragazza speciale, bella e gentile che ci ha spiegato un sacco di cose interessanti sugli uccelli. Translate this opinion into English.

In general, I don't like animals in captivity, but this park also welcomes endangered species and the birds are well cared for. Sure, seeing a condor and a harpy eagle in an aviary is stomach-churning, but perhaps they were needy animals. From here we went to Playa Blanca, beautiful. For the entire trip we were accompanied by a guide just for us. A special, beautiful and kind girl who explained to us a lot of interesting things about birds. Opinion translated. Show original.

El aviario, la guía y fotógrafa fueron buenísimos. Un sitio hermoso explicado por una chica muy capaz y amante de las aves, hicieron la experiencia muy agradable. Sin embargo, tanto las condiciones del transporte , como de seguridad del mismo, bastante precarias. Menos plazas para sentarse qué pasajeros ( y en malas condiciones los minibuses. La playa linda, pero las condiciones de los lugares para bajar, y comer, aunque con personas muy amables, no muy limpias. Translate this opinion into English.

The aviary, the guide and photographer were great. A beautiful site explained by a very capable girl and lover of birds, they made the experience very pleasant.

Una excursión completa para hacer algo distinto en Cartagena. En el aviario se pueden ver aves de todos los colores y especies y aprender mucho. Playa Tranquila en Barú es preciosa, el color del mar es increíble y las instalaciones son rústicas, naturales y a tono con el lugar. Mi guía, Deyber, fue una excelente compañía a lo largo de todo el día: muy amable, informado, paciente y muy pendiente de brindar la mejor experiencia posible. Lo super recomiendo!
