Where is Isla Mucura located?

Isla Múcura is located in the San Bernardo Islands, a Caribbean archipelago southwest of Cartagena, Colombia. It's farther from Cartagena than Barú or many Rosario Islands tours, which is why the day starts early and includes a longer boat ride.

Antoni's tip: your Cartagena insider

This is the tour I recommend for travelers who've already done a Rosario Islands beach club and want to see something genuinely different; Santa Cruz del Islote alone is worth the early start. It's a long day with a longer boat ride than most Cartagena tours, so if anyone in your group gets seasick easily, plan accordingly. Bring cash for the port tax and pack a towel, since it's not included.
