Best Tayrona National Park Day Trips & Things to Do

Near Santa Marta in Columbia is Tayrona National Park, which lies on the Caribbean coast and is famed for its gorgeous coastline. This protected area has miles of beaches and forests teeming with exotic wildlife. Cabo San Juan, with access to several spectacular beaches nearby, is one of its many campsites. Experienced surfers are drawn to the area by its great waves and enjoy Costeno Beach Surf camp with its spartan accommodations, including hammocks for spending the night. Some archaeological ruins have been discovered in the park, left by the indigenous people who once lived there.
