Slipping through the Gulf of Morrosquillo, fishing boats navigate towards the shores of Berrugas. This small corregimiento, a subdivision of the municipality of San Onofre in the Sucre department of Colombia, serves as a vital port. Berrugas is a hub for the fishing community, with many vessels from the San Bernardo Archipelago docking here. Historically, Berrugas played a significant role in the region’s economy. In the 19th century, the area surrounding Berrugas thrived on agriculture, livestock, and rice production. Berrugas acted as the primary port, facilitating trade with Cartagena and other nearby towns. Back in 1825, Berrugas consisted of approximately 70 houses. A key part of Berrugas’ history is its role as a port for San Onofre. This allowed the town to connect with larger cities and engage in trade. Today, Berrugas continues to be a working port, supporting the local fishing industry and serving as a gateway to the beautiful beaches of the region. The stunning beaches of Berrugas, Rincón, Chichimán, and Sabanetica, coupled with its proximity to the San Bernardo Archipelago, make it a tourist destination. This also provides employment opportunities for the locals. Berrugas offers a glimpse into the past, intertwined with the present-day life of a bustling fishing community.
