Acuario y Museo Del Mar
The aquarium and museum are on the seashore 2km northwest of El Rodadero. The aquarium has sharks, dolphins, turtles, seals and other marine species, and a dolphin show is held when tourists come. The attached museum displays an odd variety of objects, ranging from copies of Inca ceramics to the propeller of an airplane which crashed nearby.
Transport to the aquarium is provided by boats operated from the beach in El Rodadero; tickets can be bought from the stands on the beach.

Museo del Oro
The Gold Museum is in the fine colonial mansion known as the Casa de la Aduana (Customs House), but was getting a facelift at the time of research. It has an interesting collection of Tayrona objects, mainly pottery and gold, as well as artifacts of the Kogi and Arhuaco people. Don’t miss the impressive model of Ciudad Perdida, especially if you plan on visiting the real thing.
