WATERS OF THE CARARE BASIN

La San Juana Marsh
The clear waters of La San Juana Marsh indicate the good conservation status of this wetland. The Caribbean manatee, an aquatic mammal that the Proyecto Vida Silvestre also works to protect, has this beautiful corner of the Magdalena Medio as one of its homes.

 

San Juan Channel
The San Juan Channel flows calmly and without hurry. Its winding, narrow path is bordered by wide—and not so wide—strips of forest. These forests protect a rich variety of plants and animals, all typical of the Magdalena Medio and its wildlife.

 

El Clavo Marsh
El Clavo Marsh is also part of the lower basin of the Carare River. Like any wetland of its kind, one of its most important roles is serving as a precious nursery where thousands upon thousands of fish begin their lives.

 

The Carare River
This is how the last lights of any day of the year fade over the Carare River. At this point, there is very little left for it to travel before it delivers its waters to those of the Magdalena. The joining of both rivers occurs in very hot lands, typical of western Santander.
