Overview
When you step onto the boardwalk trails of Barranquilla Ecopark in the Mallorquín Wetlands, you understand why Barranquilla is a natural gem. This ecological sanctuary, inaugurated in 2023, is a green escape in the heart of the city: lush mangroves, crystal wetlands, and biodiversity that touches your soul.
The first thing you notice are the birds. From observation towers, you spot over 100 different species. Herons, cormorants, fish eagles, parrots, each with its rhythm, its color, its purpose. Guides know where to look, when they appear, what stories they carry. It's a natural ballet few cities in the world offer.
The trails take you over water. You walk on wooden planks that respect the ecosystem, destroying nothing. The mangrove surrounds you completely. It's meditative and exciting simultaneously.
Then, the change of pace: the Flowers Tourist Train. It's electric, silent, nostalgic. It transports you 2.5 km with views of the Magdalena River passing through the city. It's that contrast that defines Barranquilla: nature and urbanism in constant conversation.
Finally, Puerto Mocho. The city's only urban beach. Soft sand, warm water, that Caribbean feeling filling your lungs. It's the perfect ending: you started in the mangrove's tranquility, finished in the Caribbean breeze.
Two refreshing drinks included during the tour. Memorable photographs guaranteed. It's an experience completing any Barranquilla trip.

Traveler reviews
Exploring the Ciénaga de Mallorquín Ecopark and finishing at Puerto Mocho Beach was a delightful surprise during our trip. The wooden boardwalks through the mangroves are beautifully maintained and offer a peaceful atmosphere for birdwatching and photography. Transitioning to Puerto Mocho for a relaxed beachside lunch with fresh local seafood was the ideal way to round out the day. Magic Tour Colombia provided top-notch transport and a fantastic guide who shared fascinating insights about the local ecosystem. Highly recommended for nature enthusiasts!

Quedé gratamente sorprendida con este recorrido. El Ecoparque Ciénaga de Mallorquín es un verdadero oasis de tranquilidad; caminar por sus pasarelas entre los manglares mientras observas diferentes especies de aves y la vista de la laguna es una experiencia revitalizante. El remate en Playa Puerto Mocho fue excelente para descansar, disfrutar del mar y degustar un delicioso pescado fresco de la zona. Magic Tour Colombia se encargó de cada detalle con puntualidad y un servicio impecable.

Recorrer el Ecoparque Ciénaga de Mallorquín y rematar el día en Playa Puerto Mocho fue una experiencia maravillosa en Barranquilla. Los senderos de madera sobre los manglares son espectaculares para caminar relajadamente, tomar fotos increíbles y avistar aves en su hábitat natural. Luego, llegar a la playa renovada de Puerto Mocho para almorzar frente al mar y sentir la brisa del Atlántico fue el cierre perfecto. La guía de Magic Tour Colombia nos brindó datos ecológicos superinteresantes durante todo el camino y la logística fue impecable. ¡Un recorrido imperdible para conectarse con la naturaleza caribeña!
