A combination of great natural beauty and superb beaches, the Parque Nacional Tayrona can keep you busy for a couple of days - or, if you want, much longer.
Getting to the entrance of the park was easy enough: a bus took us from Santa Marta and dropped us very close to the park office. After paying the fee, we still had to wait for a bus to fill up, which fortunately happened very quickly. After arriving at the end of the road, at Cañaveral, we decided to send our baggage with a horse, while we would walk to Cabo San Juan de la Guía, the westernmost settlement reachable from here. After a walk through the forest of the Tayrona park, we reached Arrecifes, a settlement on the coast. Warning signs were convincing us not to try and enter the sea, as the currents apparently have already taken many lives. We anyway did not have time for it, and wanted to be sure to reach Cabo San Juan de la Guía before dark. So we walked the beach, on the edge of where the waves were breaking on the sand. Passing some great boulders, we turned inland for a while, until we exited at other, smaller beaches. The sunlight was beautiful now, and we stopped several times just to enjoy, and took a small dip into a small bay of tranquil water. After continuing past the Piscina beach, so called because it is well protected from the sea and makes for safe swimming, we continued to our destination. When we were quite close, we saw all kinds of small crabs jumping into their holes, and we reached Cabo San Juan de la Guía just before night fell. But the guy meeting us had some bad news.
