Bei einer Fahrt in der Karibik die üppigen Landschaften Mittelamerikas entdecken, die historischen Städte der Region erkunden, um mehr über die Geschichte der Orte zu erfahren, sich mit den Einheimischen austauschen und unvergessliche Erinnerungen sammeln – all das bietet Ihnen PONANT auf dieser neuen 8-tägigen Kreuzfahrt an Bord der Le Champlain.
Ab Willemstad, der Hauptstadt von Curaçao, nehmen Sie Kurs auf Santa Marta. Dieser Badeort im Norden der kolumbianischen Karibikküste mit üppigem Regenwald, schönen Sandstränden und präkolumbianischen Schätzen verspricht unvergessliche Erinnerungen.
Die Stadt Carthagena de Indias in Kolumbien ist stark von ihrer kolonialen Vergangenheit geprägt. Mit ihrem Hafen, ihrer Festung und ihren historischen Bauwerken, die zum UNESCO-Welterbe gehören, hat sie viele interessante Sehenswürdigkeiten zu bieten.
Lassen Sie sich als Nächstes vom kristallklaren Wasser Panamas und den über 300 Koralleninseln der San-Blas-Inseln verzaubern. Hier, inmitten von Palmen und Kanus, lebt das Volk der Kuna, die das traditionelle bunte Nähkunstwerk namens Mola weiterführen.
Das Fort San Lorenzo ist der letzte Halt auf Ihrer Reise, bevor Sie Colón erreichen. Bewundern Sie dieses einzigartige Bauwerk, das von der UNESCO zum Weltkulturerbe erklärt wurde. Es ist ein außergewöhnliches Zeugnis der Militärarchitektur des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts und wurde vom spanischen Königreich zur Verteidigung des transatlantischen Handels errichtet.

This cruise can include activities such as zodiac outings and landings (sometimes with "wet landings"), moderate walks to more active hikes, all accompanied by naturalist guides.
Ports of call, visited sites, outings and landings will depend on weather conditions, winds and the state of the sea. These can force a change of plans at any time. The Captain and the Naturalist team may at any time cancel or stop any activity, or even modify the itinerary. The final itinerary will be confirmed by the Captain, who will take into account the touristic quality of the sites and above all, the safety of the passengers. His decision will be based on advice from experts and authorities.

Sie wurde 1850 von den Amerikanern gegründet, die am Bau der Eisenbahnlinie zwischen der Atlantikküste und der Pazifikküste der Landenge von Panama arbeiteten, und überholte die anderen älteren Häfen der Karibik nach der Öffnung des Kanals schnell.
The Tayronaka ruins
Tucked away in the heart of a lush jungle in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, the Taironaka ruins will reveal the history and culture of one of Colombia's 70 indigenous tribes, all believed to be descended from pre-Hispanic civilisations.
At the pier, you will board your coach for the approximately 1.5-hour journey to the Taironaka ruins. En route, admire the tropical jungle scenery, majestic mountains, traditional villages and roadside fruit stalls.
On arrival, you will leave the road behind and follow a forest trail. Follow the path through the lush vegetation to the remains of an ancient village that was inhabited between 800 and 1600 AD. Not far from there are the lands of the Kogi, considered to be direct descendants of the Tairona tribe.
Enjoy a guided walking tour of the ruins and an introduction to Kogi culture, followed by some free time to explore the site at your leisure.
Before heading back to your ship, you will be served a traditional lunch.

Highlights of Santa Marta
Set off to explore history-filled Santa Marta and its treasures. This oldest city in Colombia is yours to discover.

Discovering Cartagena
With its remarkably well-preserved colonial architecture, Cartagena is like an open-air museum, which has earned it its spot on the UNESCO World Heritage Site list.
Your excursion will begin with a visit of the San Felipe de Barajas fortress, an imposing structure located just outside the ramparts of the old town. You will have the opportunity to explore the inside of this impressive fortification before heading to the heart of the city. The city is encircled by a dozen or so miles of stone walls, whose construction was spread out over 194 years.
Then, you will take a tour of the Naval Museum, where you will discover Colombia's naval history. The exploration will be followed by a show about Colombian folklore within the same museum. Leaving the Naval Museum, you will be invited to discover the open-air museum that is the city of Cartagena. Stroll around and admire the magnificent churches, the picturesque squares and the cafés which seem to remain stuck in the 16th century. A guide will lead you through your stroll around the cobblestoned streets, providing you with precious information about the history of Cartagena.
