Excursion to San Jacinto and Cerro Maco
Rural tourism route for travelers seeking contact with nature and outdoor adventure near Cartagena. The Montes de María offer natural attractions combined with historical and gastronomical proposals.
You will live an experience that takes you to magical and ancestral places in a beautiful corner of the Bolívar department. Cerro del Macao is a charming natural viewpoint located in the Montes de María, 14km from San Jacinto and 900m above sea level. It’s the highest point in the department. Activities such as mountain biking and trekking are available for those seeking high endurance, as well as simpler activities like bird and exotic animal watching or exploring the coffee plantations of the Montes de María, which will lead you to taste the country’s best traditional organic coffee or cacao.
You can also choose a trip to San Jacinto to see how the popular hammocks and backpacks are made, and receive a talk about their tradition and history. A visit to San Juan de Nepomuceno with a stop at the Parque Natural de los Colorados and a visit to the María Lucia cookie factory is also an option, including the Jaguar Walk and the Petroglyphs left by the Malibu indigenous people.
We invite you to discover this wonderful place, full of magic and seldom visited by tourists.
An experience, unique in Colombia, to reconnect with nature and with that adventurous spirit that we all carry within, just 2 hours from Cartagena.
