Reviews

What an amazing experience with Tangol Tours' canoe tour through the mangroves of Cartagena! Paddling through those lush green tunnels was like entering a secret world. Our guide was super knowledgeable, sharing cool insights about the mangrove ecosystem and spotting wildlife for us. It felt peaceful and adventurous at the same time. If you're in Cartagena, this is a must-do – totally worth it! Pro tip: wear sunblock and a hat for that sunny Colombian weather. Loved every minute of it!
