Direct accompaniment by Nohemi, backed by the agency's safety standards

Playa Blanca on the island of Barú is one of the most beautiful beaches in Colombia — crystal-clear water, white sand and the laid-back pace of the Caribbean coast. Our day trip takes you there by land (no rough water crossings), directly to the Puerto Medallo beach club, where everything is already set up for a perfect day.

Forget planning — transport, food, pool and a beach lounger are all included. Just bring your swimsuit, sunscreen and your best Caribbean mood.
