During our visit to Playa Blanca, Colombia we enjoyed a great meal that included Trucha (Trout), Coconut Rice, and Platanos (plantains.) This is a very typical dish in the Caribbean Coast.
Our Delicious Meal on Playa Blanca, Colombia

Playa Blanca is a beautiful, isolated, Caribbean beach located on Barú Island along the Caribbean coast of Colombia near Cartagena and Las Islas del Rosario. Its white sand and crystal clear water easily make it one of Colombia’s best beaches. The beach is about 3.5 kilometers long and safe for swimming, without unusual tides or strong currents and the temperature of the water is warm.
Accommodation at Playa Blanca is a hammock between palm trees along the beach. Enjoy sipping a Pina Colada fresh from a coconut.
The Perfect Beach
