Luminous plankton, the hidden natural wonder in Barú
Durante el día, los visitantes pueden disfrutar la arena blanca y el agua cristalina del Mar Caribe, pero llegada la noche ocurre un fenómeno “Luminous plankton” casi único que puede observarse en pocos lugares del globo, en el que el mar se tiñe de colores y formas que parecen ser de otro planeta.
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, y cuenta con una particularidad, la presencia del denominado “Luminous plankton” que atrae la atención de centenares de turistas por las noches.
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.
El fenómeno ocurre por la presencia de un alga llamada Noctiluca scintillans, también conocida como “chispa de mar” que es la responsable de provocar estos destellos lumínicos.
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.
