Isla Salamanca Parkway (officially, Vía Parque Isla de Salamanca) is a protected natural area along the Caribbean coast in the Magdalena Department in northern Colombia. It is also an important transportation corridor, linking coastal cities via a well-maintained parkway that attracts tourists who come for the ocean views and to see the mangrove swamps and inland lagoons that are a haven for native and migratory birds as well as marine mammals, reptiles, and amphibians.
The nearest major airport is in Barranquilla (BAQ). From Barranquilla, guided tours go through the park, often stopping at scenic beaches, birdwatching spots, or other points of interest.
Read in the guideThe best way to get around is by car (or tour bus/van). There are numerous stopping points and side roads off the main parkway where you can access hiking trails, beaches, or scenic overlooks (miradors).
