Things to do in

Tierra Bomba Island

Discover Tierra Bomba Island's magnificent contrast of mountain and sea on a guided mountain bike tour. See the island's famous sites, lush beach and mountain landscapes, learn about its history, and tuck into a tasty lunch by a pristine beach. Depart Cartagena by boat bright and early. Once on the island, hop onto your mountain bike and start your outdoor adventure. Cycle past vibrant landscapes of rolling hills, turquoise sea and white sand beaches dotted with coconut trees. Then, arrive at your first historical area: Bocachica. Here, learn about Fort San Fernando de Bocachica's turbulent history, where many pirate and corsair attacks were blocked. Stop for a relaxing break on one of the many beaches of Bocachica, enjoying the warm breeze and cooling your toes off in the blue waters. Next, cycle onwards to the port area for your lunch. Tuck into a typical regional meal with a choice of fried fish or grilled chicken, accompanied by coconut rice, plantains, and salad. Finally, enjoy a rest on the sand, a dip in the sea, or a snooze under the coconut trees until you catch your boat back to your original meeting point.

Begin your day joining the pirate crew at Pegasus Pier at 8:00 AM to check-in. At 8:30 AM set sail to experience a one of a kind experience as you go the same path the Spanish Forces once did to protect their colony. Learn all about the war between the UK and Spain and hear the stories behind the pirates and slaves that played a crucial role in the history of the city. Siege and capture what is now the Fort San Fernando de Bocahica and celebrate victory with a typical Cartagena lunch on the beach. You may also enjoy an open bar of coconut lemonade or alcoholic drinks made from rum, fruit punch, and aguardiente. During your time at the fort, feel free to go for a swim in the refreshing Atlantic Ocean, relax under the shade, or go sun bathing in the hot Caribbean sun. You will begin your return to Cartagena later in the day and be back at about 3:30 PM after a victorious afternoon of sailing, eating, and drinking.
