We will pass by the Baru bridge without stopping where we will find the National Natural Park Corles del Rosario and San Bernardo. The Baru Peninsula (sometimes called Baru Island or simply Baru), is separated from the territory by the Canal del Dique. Until 2014 the only way to cross it was by raft, or its variants. It was in that year when the so-called "Baru Bridge" was inaugurated (Baru is an artificial island that was formed almost 100 years ago by the construction of the Canal del Dique. The three towns of the island are Ararca, Santa Ana and Baru).
We arrive at Playa Blanca, famous for its white beaches and turquoise waters. It is the only public beach of the Corales del Rosario National Natural Park, once in Baru, we will walk about 5 minutes to reach the Beach Club, where you can spend time in a lounger or sun chair, you can explore the beautiful crystal clear waters.
