Location:
Cienaga San Silvestre
Barrancabermeja, Colombia
Other Activity
Likened to a freshwater "ocean," the cienaga San Silvestre spans out from Barrancabermeja to as far as Puerto Wilches making it a vast body of water measuring nine square km.
On the banks of San Silvestre, a 10minute drive from Barrancabermeja, there are now various water sports resorts that have sprung up.
At these family-friendly places you can swim in the delectable waters of the ciénaga, waterski, parascend and fish. Normally there is a beach volleyball court set up, a live band playing on the weekend and spaces to set up your own BBQ.
Too much action? Take a hammock, string it up in the shade of some trees and have a serious siesta in the breeze coming off the ciénaga.
Getting There
catch a taxi from downtown Barrancabermeja
