This is an absolutely amazing place to visit, it is by the entrance of a town called Turbaco ( name taken from an ancient brave, war-skilled native indian tribe known as Yurbacos) in the Guillermo Piñeres garden, there are plenty of animals to see, like monkeys, sloths and birds of different kinds. There are lots of plants and flowers of all sorts, some of which only exist in very few places. This massive garden is filled with flora and fauna and it is a glimpse of what this part of Colombia used to look like about four hundred years ago.

This garden is also well known historically, because of the different important events that took place on its surroundings.
The independence of Colombia was signed on a ranch not far from the garden named "Torrecilla".
Also, as you come out of the garden unto the main road, you will get a panoramic view of Cartagena de indias, which was an strategic place for the battles of independence; the people could see their enemies coming from the sea and up the hill towards the town and thus prepare for battle.

If you love exploring, birdwatching, or simply walking in nature. This is the place to be.

The road leading to the garden was horribly maintained. The garden was neat and maintained well. I loved the garden and its greenery.

Fue una experiencia agradable al estar en contacto con la naturaleza, no vi tantas ranas venenosas, pensé que habrían serpientes, más variedad de peces, más aves pero no, si quieres despejar la mente es buen lugar para caminar

Una muy buena experiencia con la naturaleza, hacia mucho no estaba en un sitio como este. Si eres afiliado a comfenalco es posible que pagues menos para el ingreso.

Cabe decir que es un buen sitio para hacer camping y si tienes suerte podrás ver animalitos silvestres. El día que lo visite a una de mis amigas la persiguió un ave por meterse con ella, la naturaleza es inteligente.

This garden is not well publicized or easy to find. It is located about 15 km but it seemed more like 30 or 40 km south of Cartagena by going through busy container traffic to the port of Cartagena. Getting there is probably best done by taxi. I paid $90 US for a taxi that would take me and wait a two or three hours for me to walk around. There are no easy-to-find bus routes.

I paid 15,000 pesos, about $7.50 US, for the entrance fee. I went on a Saturday and was almost the only person on the grounds which must be over 300 or 400 wooded acres. There were many of the common tropical shrubs and groudcovers too.They had no handout or maps but the trails have signs with maps marked with "you are here" on each map so navigating the place is quite easy. I didn't find any trash like bottles or candy wrappers laying about so it is kept very clean by Latin American standards. My biggest problem is none of the trees are marked as to species with the local name and the scientific name. Absolutely none. I had hoped to learn a few more tropical species. I recognized the ones I knew but not much new was learned. It was however a peaceful pleasure walk.There is a small cantina where you can get cold drinks. It is at the far end of the park so you may want to carry water bottles in so you have something to drink as you walk around.

The street view photo as of Nov 22, 2014 is wrong, way off. It appears from the satellite image that the location pin is about 3 blocks too far west from the actual site.
