Bring everything (a book, water, fruits, parasol) and bring everything you bring and a great souvenir. From Santo Cristo you can wal...

Mirador del Parque Tayrona
Serviced accommodation
👍👍 Great place to stay inside tayrona national park. You have to walk to the beaches but we didnt mind this and you can just take the bus to the end of the road. We found this accomodation alot nicer then the accomodation on the beaches which is either ridiculously overpriced or was dirty. Really fri...

👍👍 Incredible to know this place flooded with thick jungle. It is two hours going down (almost 600 meters) from the San Lorenzo experimental station, you must pass private farms and an indigenous community, where a monetary contribution is given allowing the visit to such a valuable site, for this reas...

👍👍 A very nice place to take a dip, water is super warm and depending on the season and rainfall you have more or less water. All in all a more than necessary stop if you pass along the passeo. You can find a few fish in the water and the dicho says that in this love pool there are two people enterin...

🫤 SAD ...

Playa Calderón
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Beautiful solitary beach, quiet and very rocky, with a clear deep turquoise blue sea. Very hot in the dry season, you can swim but not on the shore of the beach, but a few meters further from the coast. It can be reached via catamarans or boats, where tourists and locals come to enjoy the landscape,...

Playa Cantamar
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Beautiful clean, quiet beach. Fair warning though: Please stay on the beach and DO NOT go up on the rock ledge on the far edge of the shore (that separates this beach from Playa Gaīra). I was knife-attacked up there by two individuals for my cell phone (in broad afternoon daylight). I could not...
