What To Expect
Monumento Ventana Al Mundo
The monument, sited on a roundabout on Avenida Circunvalar, near the city’s industrial area, uses a huge steel and aluminium frame to support more than 2,000 m2 (21,500 ft2) of colored laminated safety glass. Arranged in a harlequin pattern, the glazed panels − in shades of red, yellow, green, blue and white − cover the entirety of the structure in a multi-colored façade that is both complimentary and contrasting to the surrounding area.
Cienaga Grande de Santa Marta
The Ciénaga Grande de Santa Marta (Spanish for Large Marsh of Saint Martha) is the largest of the swampy marshes located in Colombia between the Magdalena River and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. It has an area of 4280 Km2 and belongs to the outer delta system of the Magdalena River. It is separated from the Caribbean Sea by a narrow, sandy artificial spit built in the 1950s, on which is situated coastal route 90 from Barranquilla to Santa Marta. The marsh's large lagoon is connected to the Caribbean Sea via a narrow strait (the La Barra channel) located between the town of Pueblo Viejo and the city of Ciénaga.

Incredible service, communication and care

5.00We were collected in Cartagena at the location of our choosing. Our driver was polite and charming and the car was spacious and clean. We set off for Minca and soon out of Cartagena, we stopped for some supplies. We stocked up at a great service station and hit the road. Our driver drove for 4 hours straight and was so cautious and diligent on the roads. When we arrived at Minca, he even carried our luggage over a rope bridge to our accommodation. The general service and communication of the company has been first class. Our pick up in Cartagena was slightly delayed, and although we didn’t see an issue, they kindly offered to organise a free transfer for us later in the trip. Amazing service and very happy to recommend
Hader was a great driver...

5.00This transportation service is absolutely recommended. Our driver, Juan, was so kind. He waited for over an hour due to our flight delays. Water was provided. He is an excellent driver and our ride was very comfortable. The car was spacious and had AC. Juan even waited with us until our hotel transport arrived to pick us up, just to make sure we were safe. Could not recommend this service more!
Excellent service and good car

5.00Excellent service. We chose to take a private drive for convenience of travel between hotel and hotel. Juan arrived ahead of time and spoke excellent English. He had to go a different way due to torrential rain in Barranquilla but we still arrive within around 5hrs to Minca. The service station stop was also decent for snacks and drinks. Would definitely recommend for a hassle free service.
Exemplary service with an excellent company

5.00An excellent service from start to finish. Juan arrived early for our pick-up, the car was very comfortable and safe driving. A 4.5 hour journey passed very quickly thanks to the conversation with Juan. He is extremely knowledgeable about Colombian history and geography so it felt like a tour. Juan speaks fluent English and clearly considers his customers' comfort and welfare. Thank you Bukap Travel!
Friendly driver

5.00We set up the transportation before we left for our trip and everything was easy to navigate on the website. Our driver, Juan Guillermo, was on time and was very friendly. He told us about things we were passing on our way to Minca even though it was just supposed to be a transport and not a tour.
