Tayrona National Park Day Trip
Description
Discover the stunning rainforest and pristine beaches on this day excursion to Tayrona National Natural Park, regarded as one of the most picturesque natural reserves globally!
Tour Options
When booking, you may select from two distinct tour formats. Both options encompass hotel pickup in Cartagena or Barranquilla, round-trip transportation, an English-speaking guide, and entry to Tayrona National Natural Park.
Hiking Adventure
Your journey begins with a pickup from your hotel, leading us to Tayrona National Park, an area known for its conservation, featuring over 300 marine flora species, 770 types of terrestrial plants, and the elusive jaguar. This lush environment offers an unparalleled experience!
Upon reaching the park, we will embark on an engaging 2 to 3-hour trek through ecological paths set amid tropical forests. Our path will guide us to Arrecifes, where breathtaking vistas of the Caribbean Sea await from a scenic viewpoint, perfect for capturing memories. If you would rather not hike, you have the option to rent a horse to savor the adventure differently.
Our next stop will be the Natural Pool, a lovely beach for unwinding before we proceed to the renowned Cabo San Juan beach. Here, you will be free for 4 to 6 hours to swim, lounge under palm trees, stroll along the sandy shores, and enjoy lunch at your discretion from a local eatery.
Eventually, we will retrace our steps along the same trail and return you to your hotel, concluding our day approximately 14 to 19 hours after your pickup.
Boat Excursion
Upon our arrival at Tayrona National Park, our first stop will be theSiete Olas viewpoint, offering a spectacular look at Brava Beach and its crashing waves.
Afterward, we will head to Neguanje Bay to board a boat that will take us to the famous Crystal Beach in just 10 minutes. You will have 8 hours of personal time there to unwind, sunbathe, and enjoy lunch at your leisure at one of the beachside restaurants.
In conclusion, we will return by boat to Neguanje, and commence our trip back to your hotel, wrapping up our journey between 14 and 18 hours later.
