A tranquil yet vibrant island lays off the coast of Cartagena de Indias. A day trip to Tierra Bomba barely seemed like enough time to get to know the island dwellers and the unabashedly tropical island vibes. A Caribbean beach, island cocktails, grilled fish and plantain rice bowls, and a brilliant DJ, time slowed, and it was lovely.
From the mainland, we took a boat out to the island. Away from shore and around a point, Amare Beach Club came into view. There we would spend the day in the hot sun, warm water, and the shade and breeze to keep us cool.
