Tayrona National Park

A Paradise of Calm in Cabo San Juan and the Beaches of Tayrona Park.

The beaches of Tayrona National Natural Park, located on Colombia's Caribbean coast, are a refuge of serenity and natural beauty, and among them, Cabo San Juan del Guía shines with its own unique charm. This beach, famous for its iconic postcard of a horseshoe-shaped bay, combines golden sands, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and a jungle setting that invites tranquility. Reaching Cabo San Juan requires a hike of about two hours from the El Zaino entrance, a trail that winds through tropical forest and offers impressive views. Once there, the calm of its waters, protected by reefs, is perfect for swimming or simply relaxing while gazing at the horizon.

The option to camp or rest in hammocks right by the sea makes the experience even more special, allowing visitors to connect with nature in its purest form.

Another gem of Tayrona is La Piscina Beach, known for its serenity and safety for bathing, thanks to the reefs that form a natural lagoon. Just 20 minutes on foot from Arrecifes, this beach is ideal for those looking to practice snorkeling and enjoy calm waters surrounded by lush vegetation.

La Piscina offers a peaceful environment, where the sound of the waves and the sea breeze create a perfect atmosphere for disconnecting. Although less crowded than Cabo San Juan, its beauty is in no way inferior, with a landscape that blends the deep blue of the sea with the intense green of the jungle, inviting visitors to immerse themselves in an environment of peace and harmony.

For its part, Playa Cristal, also known as Playa del Muerto, is another treasure of Tayrona, mainly accessible by boat from Neguanje. Its crystal-clear waters and white sand make it an ideal place to relax and explore marine life through snorkeling. The tranquility of this beach, awarded TripAdvisor's Traveller’s Choice 2019 as one of South America's favorites for its beauty, crystal-clear water, white sand, and serenity, allows visitors to enjoy an almost untouched landscape, where nature reigns uninterrupted.

These beaches, with their combination of calm, natural beauty, and connection to the surroundings, make Tayrona Park an unforgettable destination for those seeking an escape from the hustle and bustle and a reconnection with the serenity of the Colombian Caribbean.
