ATTRACTIONS/ACTIVITIES
Cienaga de Caimanera
You can take a bus or taxi to a bridge from where you can go on a tour of a
mangrove swamp. As you take a lazy trip through the mangroves you will see
different birds and creatures that live in these swamps. Many fishermen are
collecting oysters, which grow on the mangroves. This tour is about seeing
nature and helping out the local economy with your boat fees. This trip is also
perfect for practicing your negotiating skills. 25,000 COP may get you there, but
it's up to you to find the right price. The guides will be hanging out on the bridge
waiting for customers, ask for the bus or taxi to let you off at Cienaga de
Caimanera

Bike Tour
A great way to see Tolú, is to take a 30 to 40 minute bike tour of the town. This is
a great way to see the sights and let someone else do the work. All you need to
do is jump in the bike operator's passenger carriage and he will do the peddling.
For 3,000 COP - 5,000 COP you can make this happen. Find a local bike operator
on the street and make a deal.
