ER 12 Birds of the Caribbean coast of Colombia I visited the caribbean coast of Colombia in december during the dry season.

Short description of the visited areas :

Cartagena : beautiful old city, there are some lagoons near the centre. Parque Salamanca : this area is dominated by mangrove swamps, shallow lagoons and sandy beaches. Birds can be observed from the road, from a wooden path leading some distance into the mangrove forest and from the beach. Santa Marta : city with a nice bay. Parque Tayrona : this national park has beautiful forest which grows up to the beach. There is a camp side, a restaurant and some good trails. Further east the climate is drier. Near Camarones are swamps. Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta : this area is accessible best from the southeast.The indian tribe of the Arhuacos lives here and there are many trails. Though slopes are very steep, most forest has been cleared in this part of the Sierra Nevada. I walked in three days from San Sebastian to Atanquez. San Sebastian (about 2400 m) is the highest point of the walk.
