Detailed itinerary

You will arrive on your own to the meeting point: Hotel Playa Blanca - Rodadero CRA 3 # 9-70, at 7:15 am. There you will take the public bus that will take you to the entrance of the park, where the tour guide will be waiting for you.

From the entrance you will start hiking deep in the woods along the marked trails until you get to the first beach: Arrecifes (reefs). This is the biggest beach in the park and one of the campsites but, as it is not possible to swim in its waters due to the strong sea currents, you will only stay there for a couple of minutes to have a break.

Ready again, you will keep walking down and up the natural paths with its incredible natural Crystal-clear beaches. These are one of the top 25 most beautiful beaches of South America due to its turquoise crystal-clear calm waters.

And last but not least you will get to the final destination: Cabo San Juan, known for having a picturesque viewpoint from a kiosk and another campsite.

Once in here, you will enjoy a traditional Caribbean lunch by the sea (not included) and you will have the rest of the day to lie under a palm tree’s shade, relax, swim, walk by the seashore, or even talk with some other travelers. Then hike back again to the entrance of the Tayrona Park. From there, your tour guide will help you taking the bus back to Santa Marta.
