description
Well-marked entrance with red and green light buoys. However, it is long, over 12 nautical miles. There is also a continuous countercurrent on the way in. This is because it is the outlet for many rivers.
Important info: Throughout Colombia, you must use an Agent to check in and check out of a port. When you arrive at the next port, you must also use an agent. A bit cumbersome and 'expensive'. In Santa Marta, it cost US$ 400, in Cartagena the price was 300, and here in Buenaventura, it was only US$ 200.
