Islas Rosarios, or the Rosario Islands, are a small set of 27 islands off the coast of Cartagena and the are designated as a national park. They are past Barú, which can get super busy with people flocking to the gorgeous beaches there.

I booked us one night on Isla Grande, the largest of the Rosario Islands, so we could experience this secluded beauty for ourselves. We set out to meet our boat (blech, another boat) after an earl breakfast. The marina was crazy busy, with dozens of boat operators trying to get customers. I, of course, had pre-booked because I cannot ever show up without tickets in hand. We eventually found our gate and we baked in the sun (85 degrees at 8am) until it was time to board.

This was a small boat, but thankfully, the sea was calm and we sped across to the island in about an hour. When we got off the boat (directly at our resort), we were immediately delighted.

I was apparently relaxed enough that I never got around to finishing this post. 🙂
