Board the purpose-built AmaMelodia in Barranquilla for seven nights sailing deep into Colombia’s heartland, calling at colonial Mompox, wildlife-rich Magangue and the timeless river towns few travellers ever reach. Finish in Cartagena, where fortress walls, mangrove waterways and the warm rhythms of the Caribbean bring this quite exceptional journey to a close.
