Discover what a sunrise is like in the Palafito Villages
From the moment you arrive at the dock to board your boat and cruise through the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta, you’ll know this experience is truly one of a kind.
Nestled in the heart of Magdalena, the Palafitos Villages offer a striking glimpse into the unique relationship between their inhabitants and the water. These floating communities, built on wooden stilts, have been home to generations who’ve learned to live in harmony with their natural surroundings. Their origins trace back to early Indigenous communities, who adapted their dwellings to withstand floods and take full advantage of water resources such as fishing. Today, these villages maintain a tranquil pace of life, filled with traditions, flavors, and landscapes that seem frozen in time.

After a 40-minute journey across the vast Ciénaga, you’ll arrive at your first destination: Nueva Venecia. Its vibrant houses and the warm welcome from the locals will make you feel like you’ve stepped into a magical storybook. Here, you’ll discover Vivero Manglares, an initiative devoted to restoring and planting mangroves in strategic areas of the Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta. This is a natural sanctuary where biodiversity flourishes in all its splendor.

Following breakfast in Nueva Venecia, you’ll head to your second destination: Buenavista, just a 15-minute boat ride away. Upon arrival, you’ll be greeted with a folk performance by the community’s dance group. You’ll have the chance to chat with residents, ask questions about their culture, and learn more about their captivating history of survival and way of life.

After spending time with the locals in Buenavista, you’ll return to Nueva Venecia to enjoy lunch. Every bite will offer a profound connection to the culture of this coastal region.
From mesmerizing sunrises to local flavors that delight the palate, every moment in these Palafitos Villages invites you to disconnect from the modern world and immerse yourself in a lifestyle where history, culture, and nature converge in perfect harmony.
