Ancient ruins and tropical forest amidst palm fringed golden beaches, Tayrona National Park is simply breathtaking and a fitting end to any trip to Colombia!
Close to Santa Marta where the Sierra Nevada coastal range plunges into the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, Tayrona covers some 150km² of Colombia’s most spectacular coastline. From the park entrance, a string of picture-postcard beaches leads off into the distance and provides the perfect setting for kicking back and unwinding to the rhythm of pounding surf. For nature lovers, trails head off into the lush forest and give captivating glimpses of butterflies and birds. And if that is not enough, you then stumble onto the atmospheric ruins of Pueblito, an ancient Tayrona site linked to Colombia’s Lost City perched high in the mountains.
