What people say

"Most famous national park in Colombia. Incredibly beautiful beaches and jungle hike. Details: - 45-min bus ride from Santa Marta - Open 8-5 pm (best to arrive at opening to avoid crowds and have enough time at beaches) - 57,500 COP entrance fee - 6,000 COP mandatory insurance - 5,000 COP shuttle from entrance to trail - CASH ONLY - hike takes about 2-2.5 hrs (not super hard though) - snacks and drinks available (for cash) at points - cannot swim at all the beaches because of currents - Cabo de San Juan is most popular (and busiest) beach - possible to camp overnight in tents/hammock (research blogs for details as we did not choose to stay overnight) - alternative to hiking back out: boat to Taganga (45 min speedboat for 80,000 COP) - last boat leaves at 4 pm "

"This gorgeous park will remain a mystery to us. We had big plans to explore it but happened to book our time there when it was closed! 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲: The park closes for restoration and rejuvenation 3 times per year for a fortnight at a time. Make sure you research when your headed there! at time of writing closure dates were as follows: February 01- 15, June 01-15, and October 19 - November 02"
"No trip to the coast is complete without visiting Tayrona National Park. You can go as a day trip or stay a night in one of the campgrounds/hammocks. It takes around 2-2.5 hours to walk to the main beach (cabo san lucas) so if you go for the day make sure you leave early so you have enough time to walk back. The last shuttle van leaves at around 5pm. "

Tag us in your planning and travels so we can see your experiences in this amazing country! @EricandSarah_ *Full transparency: this is not an ultra-budget guide. We include a range of free to paid activities in each place, a variety of restaurant options and mid-range priced accommodations (mostly Airbnbs). It's based on our own travel style which we'd consider "medium budget" - we like to save money but are also willing to splurge on certain comforts and activities. We believe there is valuable information for any type of traveller though!
