We’ll navigate the Magdalena River at a ferry crossing 400 years of history, which will take us close to the village of Santa Cruz de Mompox, declared a national monument and world heritage site by UNESCO; on its streets you can still find skillful traditional gold and silversmiths whose art of filigree is outstanding.
Throughout the beautiful roads of one of the most diverse countries in the world, we'll witness a full array of contrasts and biodiversity.
