So you get to the park entrance at El Zairo, first they tell you their ten commandments: bring your trash with you when you leave the park, no alcohol, no musical instruments (really), no plastic bags. We just nod and smile cos how the heck are you going to take trash with you without a plastic bag. Whatever. Then 10m... More

Stayed in hammocks at El Cabo, in a two-story bungalow on a rocky outpost. (25,000 c$) gorgeous view, but cold and windy. bring blankets/sleeping bag and a padlock to lock up your stuff. amazing beach there, great for swimming. hiked the two hours in paralleling the beaches, not a difficult hike, pretty level and a good mix of several different...

What a great day out! There is some hiking involved to get to the best beach out of some beautiful coastline. Even the non-hikers in our group enjoyed the scenery. The beach was a little busy but we were there on a public holiday. Read more and see photo's on http://imstillalivemom.wordpress.com/2013/03/29/tayrona-national-park-beach-stroll/

The best beach is Cabo and to reach this part you'll have to first take a cab from the park entrance to the parking of the Park....then from there at least walk at a very fast pace 1.5 hours to get to this beach...which means back and forth a total of 3 hours just walking to get in and out... More

Pricey for US folks but plenty of great hiking. Really went to sleep like a baby lying on the beach listening to the most amazing crashing surf.

very beautiful landscape. sleep at san juan in the hammocks above the sea. go to publito, its worth a hike.

It really is quite beautiful. I did not have time to spend weeks and weeks, but the remoteness of it - the difficulty and altitude and descent of the hike, even to the first beach, canaveral, make it quite a scene. Of course you can't swim at the first two beaches - undertows have killed 100+ they say. What's less... More

It is a Paradise, a great place to camp in the mountain while having beach right there. I preffer to stay in Arrecifes because they have all the needed ammenities, fairly clean bathrooms and showers and 2 options of restaurants. A bad thing, you have to be prepared to walk a lot in order to be able to swim because... More

Wow. We are pretty jaded snorkelers who have been to the Great Barrier Reef, Sulawesi, Belize, and blah blah blah so we've found most of the snorkeling in Columbia pretty ho-hum. BUT La Playa Cinta in el Parque was the big exception. The snorkeling was not the best on the planet but the setting was absolutely amazing and well worth... More
