Tayrona Park

Tayrona is a park inhabited by the indigenous peoples Wiwas, Arhuacos, Kankuamos and Koguis. A sacred place that you must respect at all costs, where you will find hiking trails, heavenly beaches and where you can snorkel, scuba dive, observe the flora and fauna.

The park has 3 entrances, each leading to different beaches, but the choice of the best entry depends on your desire for adventure or rest. If the intention of your trip is to enjoy more beaches than hiking, then it is best to enter through El Zaino, but if you just want to walk and know the forests of the park, enter by Calabazo.

Previously, from the entrance of Calabazo, you could reach Pueblito Chairama, Playa Brava, Cabo San Juan and the other beaches of Zaino. Today, it reaches only the Playa Brava. If you want to go to most beaches, you must enter through El Zaino.

The third entrance to Tayrona National Park is via the Palangana area, where you can reach the beaches of Neguanje, Gayraca and Playa del Muerto or Playa Cristal. In this part of the park, you can not stay overnight.

The beaches of Tayrona Park

Cañaveral Beach is the closest to the entrance to El Zaino. Although it is one of the smallest and most beautiful, it is also one of the beaches where it is forbidden to swim because of the strength and dangerousness of its waves. The beach of Cañaveral has virgin corals, but whatever the temptation to enter the sea, do not do it! Better to walk and take good pictures.

A 45-minute walk from Cañaveral, between the humid jungle and the dry tropical forest, you arrive at Arrecifes Beach. It is the largest beach in Tayrona National Park. You will find restaurants, camping, a large coral reef and giant stones that prohibit swimming because it is dangerous.

Then, 500 meters from Arrecifes, is the small beach of Arenilla with its turquoise waters, and you can finally enter the sea. Arenilla is one of the most popular beaches for the tranquility of its sea. There is no restaurant service, bathroom, camping, you must visit early if you want to find the quiet beach and take great pictures.

15 minutes from Arenilla is the beach of La Piscina. It is one of the quietest and most beautiful beaches in Tayrona Park where you can swim and explore the marine life.

From La Piscina, you have to walk 15 minutes to Cabo San Juan del Guía, the most famous and most visited beach in Tayrona Park. You recognize Cabo San Juan, because it is the only beach in Tayrona Park which, besides being surrounded by a lot of vegetation, has a hill in the middle of the sea and at the top, a gazebo and a viewpoints. In Cabo San Juan, it is allowed to swim, but every time you go to do it, pay close attention to the waves. In addition, this beach is where boats arrive or go to Taganga.
