Indeed, it boasts 26 national nature parks, offering travelers the chance to admire a wealth of flora and fauna, from rainforests and tropical rainforests to arid zones, immense deserted beaches and mangroves. Tayrona National Park is the country&#8217;s second most visited park, behind Rosario and San Bernardo National Coral Park. It&#8217;s become a must-see, so let&#8217;s explore it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Welcome to <strong>Santa Marta<\/strong>, starting point for exploring the park and a charming little Colombian tourist town. Travelers can put down their suitcases for one or more nights, as the city abounds with nightclubs, bars and restaurants, in a salsa, rock and Latino atmosphere. We tested the <strong>bendito caf\u00e9<\/strong> a nice place for a snack. Not far from the square is the local night market for hearty, inexpensive dishes. For a tasty lunch, we fell for the <strong>Ouzo restaurant<\/strong>, offering accessible Mediterranean cuisine in front of a beautiful little square with the air of a European city.

The path to get there takes about 3h-3h30: you start out uphill and then the path is downhill and rather slippery! The next day, you can head to Cabo San Juan for a night&#8217;s sleep. Beware, the path is harder than the one to Calabazo, with very steep climbs at the start. It takes about 2h30-3h. You leave via Zaino on a quiet path, passing through the <strong>piscina<\/strong> and other beaches! Allow 2h-2h30 for the walk.

The route will be presented with instructions to follow, and various points for stopping and sleeping. <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Please note that you cannot book accommodation on Ca\u00f1averal beach!<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The beach of <strong>Ca\u00f1averal<\/strong> is located in Tayrona National Park. This is the Park&#8217;s most famous beach, because of its slightly more eccentric setting and perched hut, but it&#8217;s often the most popular with tourists! To get there, you have to cross lush vegetation and coconut palms. The route is marked out, easy and takes all in all <strong>2 good hours<\/strong> by walking normally from the parking lot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The tent site is quite large, so you can either rent tents or bring your own and pay the rental fee. For those who don&#8217;t have their own equipment, you can rent hammocks in a huge covered area (around 50). Please note that <strong><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">check-in only from 1.30pm-2pm<\/span><\/strong> and the queue is already long at 1pm because everyone wants to sleep there!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">For those who wish to sleep in the hut, this is possible, as it&#8217;s no more expensive than a classic hammock. But there are 2 drawbacks: you have to arrive first to choose your hammock and the hut is open on both sides, so when the wind blows (and it often does), you can get very, very cold! Remember to take the <strong>sleeping bag<\/strong>,yes, yes, I&#8217;m not kidding!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-24281\" src=\"https:\/\/mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/colombie-mademoiselle-voyage-parc-national-tayrona-20.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/colombie-mademoiselle-voyage-parc-national-tayrona-20.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/colombie-mademoiselle-voyage-parc-national-tayrona-20-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/colombie-mademoiselle-voyage-parc-national-tayrona-20-800x534.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.mademoiselle-voyage.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/colombie-mademoiselle-voyage-parc-national-tayrona-20-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"_WHERE_TO_SWIM_IN_TAYRONA_PARK\"><\/span><strong>| WHERE TO SWIM IN TAYRONA PARK<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can swim at <strong>Bahia Concha<\/strong>, the most popular beach for bathers, but also <strong>Bahia Chengue<\/strong>, a tiny beach, <strong>Bahia Gayraca<\/strong>, for snorkeling and diving., <strong>Neguanje<\/strong>, the largest of all the beaches in Tayrona Park, <strong>Bahia Cinto<\/strong>, <strong>Guachakyta<\/strong>, one of the smallest beaches in Tayrona Park, <strong>Cape San Juan del Guia<\/strong>, the most famous beach in the whole Park with its little hut, the <strong>Piscina<\/strong>, <strong>Arenilla<\/strong>, the beach between Arrecife and La Piscina and finally <strong>Ca\u00f1averal<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n[vc_row][vc_column][vc_message message_box_color=&#8221;grey&#8221;]<strong>PRACTICAL INFORMATION |<\/strong> <strong>Tayrona Park<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>3 types of accommodation are available<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ecohabs<\/strong> : also known as thes <em>cabins<\/em> and are considered more luxurious, with all the services that go with it.

The clientele was quite young, between 18 and 25, and came to party! the camping from<strong> Ca\u00f1avera<\/strong>l was packed with people: in the restaurant or on the beach, it was hard to get a little corner to yourself! This is one of the effects of tourism: every year, the destination attracts new, curious visitors from the 4 corners of the world to discover this warm-hearted country, which is one of our favorites.
