The Tayrona National Park is a little slice of paradise and an absolute “must do” on your Colombian itinerary.
Nominated by UNESCO as one of the five most important national parks in the world, visiting Tayrona Park is one of the most memorable things you can do in Colombia. The Tayrona park sits along the Caribbean Sea, giving visitors a chance to revel in the combination of tropical beach and exotic jungle.
With its white sandy beaches, crystal clear waters and dense tropical jungle, it is a biodiverse hub of wildlife and nature, easily accessible from nearby Santa Marta. Exploring further into the rainforest, there is evidence of the ancient civilizations that once lived here as the jungle has several archaeological sites. The park is sacred to the indigenous Kogui tribe and preserving this pristine and culturally significant area is very important.
Although it is considered as one of Colombia’s main tourist attractions, many travelers find it difficult to prepare for a day trip to Tayrona Park. Read the following tour options before trekking into the jungle and diving into the picturesque blue waters.
Our private driver and tour guide will meet you at your accommodation and drive you through Santa Marta’s city center, taking the Troncal del Caribe road as a route, for approximately 45 minutes to the main entrance of the Tayrona Park: El Zaino.
