Tayrona Natural Park

If you want to experience a truly natural place, the Tayrona National Park is ideal. It's set between the mountains and the sea and the wildlife is tremendous. The park rangers give good advice and make sure to bring extra batteries for your camera! After sweating it out in the jungle hikes, you can cool off on the beach! :)

Tayrona is a must if you're traveling through Colombia. It's spectacular. The best way to explore the park is on foot. There's one root which goes through the jungle and exits at various beaches. It's really a surprise to emerge from the forest and see a bright blue sea in front of you. Of course, the beaches are stunning and there are plenty of places for a swim. You can even camp out in one of the campsites in the park. What a luxury.
