Puerto Triunfo
Puerto Triunfo riverfront (Malecón) on the Magdalena River
Puerto Triunfo's main town faces the Magdalena River. Its riverfront promenade has viewpoints and restaurants, and people go at sunset to eat river fish.
What you will find
The town hall calls the riverfront the municipality's signature spot: a pier on the Magdalena River with restaurants and lookouts. Nearby are the main square and a lighthouse with the classic river photo. Across the water you can see plantain, cassava and papaya farms.
How to fit it in
It makes a good afternoon on day three after Hacienda Nápoles and Río Claro, exactly as in our three-day itinerary, or on the way to Estación Cocorná and its turtle sanctuary.
For river fish, see restaurants in Doradal and Puerto Triunfo. To sleep in the municipality, check Hotel Puerto Triunfo and other local hotels.
