Breakfast overlooking the beach of Monterrico is a good way to start a any day, but sipping on fresh black arabica coffee and listening to the surf crash on the black lava sand …. spectacular.

An early morning pick up from our Hotel; into the back of a pickup truck ( our transportation) and in 10 minutes we are boarding our traditional long boat with only the light from the moon, our captain and a long pole to guide us though the narrow channels of the Mangroves.

Following breakfast at the Hotel and a brief morning sketch we departing for the airport and the short flight to Cartegena.
