Enjoy a tour of the city, which has several buildings that date back to the period of political and cultural domination of the Dutch and Portuguese. Negombo has a Christian majority and there are so many churches that it is known as 'Little Rome'. The city is built around a lagoon into which the Hamilton Canal empties, which was built by the Dutch to transport cinnamon and other spices. The golden sands of the beach are one of the most emblematic places in Negombo since it is on them that many of the neighbours congregate to browse and buy the catches of lobsters, crabs, prawns and fish. We will also visit the Dutch Fort and the beautiful Catholic Church of Santa María. Then we continue to the Silver Temple. The huge boulder that looms over the whole temple complex is home to the local wild bee population. Their nests bulge below the overhang. Dinner at the hotel. Overnight in Dambulla.
