Paso Nuevo: Find Hotels for the Boat Trip to Isla Fuerte

For a trip to Paso Nuevo, two different scales matter: the town itself and the municipality of San Bernardo del Viento. Boats to Isla Fuerte depart from Paso Nuevo. If this trip is an important reason for your visit, check current transport arrangements directly with the provider. By contrast, the cultural and nature-based tourism products in the municipal development plan relate to the municipality as a whole.

Festivals and Folklore in the Municipality

The 2024–2027 municipal development plan for San Bernardo del Viento lists four festivals: the Festival del Arroz in the corregimiento of José Manuel, the Festival del Caballito de Palo in the municipality’s urban center, the Festival del Plátano in the La Cruz sector, and the Festival de la Yuca in the vereda of Mar Muerto. These festival locations are distinct from Paso Nuevo and are in different named places within the municipality. The location descriptions also vary: for the Festival del Caballito de Palo, the plan names the urban center, while the other festivals are associated with a corregimiento, a sector, or a vereda. If one of these festivals is the reason for your trip, check the specific dates and location in advance. These require different preparations: for the boat trip, check current transport arrangements; for a festival, check the date and location.

The development plan also lists folklore as a cultural tourism product of the municipality. This includes oral traditions such as stories and legends, traditional music and culture, and dances such as Bullerengue, Porro, and Cumbia. Unlike the four festivals, each associated with a specific location, folklore encompasses several forms of expression. These themes can therefore help guide your trip planning even if you are not committing to a particular festival.

Nature Themes of the Municipality of San Bernardo del Viento

At the municipal level, the plan lists the coastal zone, with its beaches and sea, as a natural tourism product. It also mentions mangrove ecosystems and other strategic ecosystems such as wetlands, as well as the Río Sinú and other waterways such as caños. The diversity of wildlife is also included, including birdwatching and observing other animals. These nature themes therefore offer different perspectives: coastal and aquatic areas, ecosystems, and wildlife observation. When deciding what to focus on during your trip, these categories can help distinguish an interest in landscapes from an interest in wildlife; both are part of the municipality’s natural profile.

You can focus your search on what shapes your trip without conflating festival locations and the municipal level with the departure point.
