Turbo between the city park and the Gulf of Urabá

Turbo brings together urban public space, a pedestrian connection to the city beaches, and a bay near the Gulf of Urabá. When planning your trip, it helps to distinguish between these locations: Parque Gonzalo Mejía is the main park in the urban area, the connection in the Gaitán neighborhood runs between the urban area and the city beaches, and the bay represents the waterfront landscape. Depending on what matters most for your trip, you can compare hotel information with your plans more effectively.

Urban space and El Waffe pier

Parque Gonzalo Mejía is the main park in Turbo's urban area and features a unified public space. The park provides access to the El Waffe tourist pier. The park is therefore an urban focal point, distinct from the bay, with its expanse of water and vegetation. If you want to take public urban space into account when choosing your destination, the main park and its connection to the pier are useful points of reference for your plans.

Walk to the city beaches

In the Gaitán neighborhood, a 300-meter-long and 2-meter-wide concrete structure with no vehicle traffic connects Turbo's urban area with the city beaches; it runs across Bahía Colombia. The connection is clearly defined by its dimensions and the absence of vehicle traffic. From there, you can watch birds and ships coming and going at the El Waffe tourist pier. So this location is about more than just the passage between the urban area and the beaches: watching birds and ship traffic at the pier are also among the things you can observe. This makes the connection distinct from the public space of Parque Gonzalo Mejía.

Bay, peninsula, and possible activities

A bay with calm waters lies near the city beaches. A peninsula covered with mangroves and native wild flora extends into the Gulf of Urabá. The expanse of water and vegetation give this stretch of coast a different character from the city park and pedestrian connection. Possible activities at the bay include rowing-boat trips, jet skiing and water cycling, birdwatching, artisanal fishing, and swimming in the sea. The range of options therefore extends from observation and fishing to excursions and activities in the water. If a particular activity is important to your plans, check in advance whether it will be available during your visit.

Find hotels to suit your travel plans

These are different interests in a destination, not features of any particular hotel. Compare the information for individual hotels with your plans and base your choice on which side of Turbo you are most interested in experiencing during your stay.
