Isla Baru<\/strong> has gained in the last 5 years a boom of exquisiteness and has become one of the favorite destinations of tourists visiting Cartagena de Indias<\/strong> in Colombia<\/strong>. Although it is actually a peninsula and not an island, its beautiful landscapes, its crystal clear water and other details that enhance the beauty of the place, have made it worthy of the title. In this blog we will tell you how to get there, what to do, what to eat and tips for going to Isla Baru<\/strong>, a beautiful place that is part of the Los Colares del Rosario National Park and San Bernardo.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everything you need to know to go to Isla Baru<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where is Isla Baru?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This wonderful place is located south of Cartagena<\/strong>, 2 hours by land or 2 and a half hours if you decide to go by boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to get to Isla Baru in Cartagena?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

You have two options to go to Isla Baru:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seaway<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

There are daily tours by boat and yacht to go to the different beaches that are part of the Rosario Islands<\/strong>; you must go to the tourist dock of the city, the cost is 50.000 COP and you must pay a port tax of only 15,000 COP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Land track<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The meeting point of all those who go to Baru Island<\/strong> is the Mall Plaza el Castillo<\/strong>, there they will all place you to take the appropriate bus that goes directly to the island. Tell the driver that you want to stay at the whereabouts of Playa Blanca<\/strong>, which is the name of the beach on Bar\u00fa Island; the ticket here only costs 2,100 COP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Curious fact<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Just until 2014 the only way to reach the island was maritime, when the Bar\u00fa Bridge<\/strong> inaugurated, thus making the island an easily accessible place for visitors and locals. A magical and exotic place, even for international celebrities and artists, who see in this beautiful island a paradise, in which many have already bought their houses and cabins to live incognito far from the places where they are recognized. Can you imagine casually finding an artist you admire while enjoying your vacation in Isla Baru in Cartagena <\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to eat in Isla Baru in Cartagena?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"comida<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is no secret to anyone that Colombian food<\/strong>, mainly the typical dishes of the coast<\/strong> is a delicacy, now imagine the typical island food; my mouth is watering. In Isla Baru in Cartagena<\/strong> you can enjoy a plate of delicious and juicy lobster, coconut rice and smashed fried plantain; or a delicious ceviche; or if you want to try one of the many types of fish to eat, you can also enjoy it fried or stewed (in coconut cream, it is crazy, we pat it). Likewise, we recommend you to accompany your meals of cold natural fruit juices, perfect to calm the heat that comes after getting a super natural tan or after a volleyball or soccer game in the sand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to do in Isla Baru?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned earlier, the island lends itself to all types of plans, be it with family, friends, couples … it is seen as a destination to rest or to have a thousand adventures; kitesurfing<\/strong> or ride a jet ski<\/strong>; The islanders also offer fishing plans, sailboat tours, diving or snorkeling plans, among other activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tips to go to Isla Baru in Cartagena<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"broncearte<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Remember that it is a beach destination, where you will be exposed to the sun, breeze with sand at some times and other situations; therefore for Isla Baru<\/strong> you should not miss:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sun block<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For you to\ntake care of your skin, especially the skin of your face that is so delicate\nand the skin of children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bronzer<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

If what you\nwant is to return to your home with a beautiful cinnamon color, in the island\nyou can also buy natural coconut or orange oils that are a hit to get that tan\nespecially for women. Remember not to exaggerate the sun exposure time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Refreshing gels or sprays<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We always\nexaggerate tanning or exposing ourselves to the sun while we bathe or do\nnautical activities, that’s why it is so useful to have any of these products\nto feel relief on the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pills or medications<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Of your regular\nuse and indicated by your doctor, for headache or other discomforts; if you are\nnot used to hot climate, it is likely that the climate change and the sun give\nyou a little headache; remember that we are talking about 28 \u00b0 to 35 \u00b0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accessories such as caps, visors, or sunglasses<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

You should\nNEVER miss them, in addition to take care of your skin and eyesight, they will\nmake you look interesting and stylish on your vacation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Camera<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

We assure you that you will regret it unless you carry it. Bar\u00fa<\/strong> has incredible landscapes that are worth preserving in a photo and in the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
