Excelente experiencia.. super recomendada

No había tenido la oportunidad de conocer unos pueblos dentro de la Ciénaga Grande. Me pareció una experiencia muy bonita y entrañable llegar a reunirnos con los pobladores de los pueblos Palafitos.
Inicar viendo la salida del sol en el espejo de la Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta y encontrar en la inmensidad de la cienaga a los Pueblos Palafitos, es una experiencia Mágica.
Es muy buena la experiencia y el amanecer con esta vista, recomendado
Lo repetiría sin duda.
Gaby un excelente host! Recomendada.
