Bei einer Fahrt in der Karibik die üppigen Landschaften Mittelamerikas entdecken, die historischen Städte der Region erkunden, um mehr über die Geschichte der Orte zu erfahren, sich mit den Einheimischen austauschen und unvergessliche Erinnerungen sammeln – all das bietet Ihnen PONANT auf dieser neuen 8-tägigen Expeditionskreuzfahrt an Bord der Le Champlain.
Ab Willemstad, der Hauptstadt von Curaçao, nehmen Sie Kurs auf Santa Marta. Dieser Badeort im Norden der kolumbianischen Karibikküste mit üppigem Regenwald, schönen Sandstränden und präkolumbianischen Schätzen verspricht unvergessliche Erinnerungen.
Die Stadt Carthagena de Indias in Kolumbien ist stark von ihrer kolonialen Vergangenheit geprägt. Mit ihrem Hafen, ihrer Festung und ihren historischen Bauwerken, die zum UNESCO-Welterbe gehören, hat sie viele interessante Sehenswürdigkeiten zu bieten.
Lassen Sie sich als Nächstes vom kristallklaren Wasser Panamas und den über 300 Koralleninseln der San-Blas-Inseln verzaubern. Hier, inmitten von Palmen und Kanus, lebt das Volk der Kuna, die das traditionelle bunte Nähkunstwerk namens Mola weiterführen.
Das Fort San Lorenzo ist der letzte Halt auf Ihrer Reise, bevor Sie Colón erreichen. Bewundern Sie dieses einzigartige Bauwerk, das von der UNESCO zum Weltkulturerbe erklärt wurde. Es ist ein außergewöhnliches Zeugnis der Militärarchitektur des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts und wurde vom spanischen Königreich zur Verteidigung des transatlantischen Handels errichtet.
