Luminous plankton, the hidden natural wonder in Barú

During the day, visitors can enjoy the white sand and crystal clear water of the Caribbean Sea, but at night a phenomenon occurs «Luminous plankton» almost unique that can be observed in a few places on the globe, in which the sea is dyed with colors and shapes that seem to be from another planet.

The presence of an algae triggers a reaction that makes the water glow with unique hues at night

A short distance from Barú is the archipelago of Rosario Islands, and it has a particularity, the presence of the so-called «Luminous plankton» which attracts the attention of hundreds of tourists at night.

The agglomeration of these plants forms a luminous plankton which is imperceptible under the sun's rays, but in the dark it causes bluish flashes that are activated by the natural movement of water.

The phenomenon occurs due to the presence of an alga called Noctiluca scintillans, also known as "sea spark", which is responsible for causing these light flashes.

Between 7:00 and 7:30 a.m., we will pick you up at the hotel in Bocagrande, Laguito, Castillo Grande or Cartagena Convention Center and, then, we will travel to the paradisiacal Playa Blanca in Barú and return at 8:30 p.m.

Where we are going to go is called the Ciénaga de Portonaito. The conditions of the place make them see very clearly; It has a single entrance where the currents are very strong and push the plankton inside. It is surrounded by mangroves that produce more oxygen than any other tree; the maximum depth is between two and three meters, and the water temperature is between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius. All these conditions make us see so much plankton.
