Tayrona National Natural Park Day Tour from Santa Marta

Famous for its palm-shaded coves, coastal lagoons, rainforest, and rich biodiversity Tayrona National Natural Park is the 37000-acre reserve that is straight out of Colombia's postcards. This large protected area covers the foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta as they meet the Caribbean coast. Aside from its pristine beauty, the park also has historical and archaeological importance as in its heart is the Pueblito ruins which were built by the Tayrona civilization.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Start the day with a pickup from your Santa Marta hotel, traveling for about 45 minutes to El Zaino, the main entrance of Tayrona National Natural Park. Upon arrival, you'll begin your trekking tour of this northern Colombian park, home to some of the most virgin coastal landscapes in the entire country. Hike in the tropical foothills near Playa Cañaveral, at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains then continue to the exotic Arrecifes Beach. Venture further to the beaches of Arenilla, La Piscina, and finally, Cabo San Juan Del Guia, a postcard-perfect white sand beach surrounded by large volcanic rocks.

Here, you'll have free time to lounge on the beach, enjoy lunch, and have a refreshing dip in its azure waters. Tour concludes in the afternoon as you trek back to the jump-off point and travel back to Santa Marta.
