Itinerary
- We will pick you up at the coordinated time, and after one hour of driving, we will arrive at the Tayrona National Park entrance.
- After we buy the tickets, pass the security gates and drive for about 10 more minutes, we leave the car in the parking lot and from that exact moment, our journey will start.
- It will be hard, it’s about 4 hours of ups and downs in humid weather (it takes just 15 minutes to be soaked in sweat), however, all of that will be left behind the moment you start watching the amazing coastline full of gigantic rocks that look like prehistoric dinosaurs eggs, the beautiful flora, and if we are lucky enough the three different types of monkeys that live there.
- Besides nature, you will also learn about the people who used to protect the area; The Tayronas, and also, their descendants, The Koguis, Wiwas, Kankuamos, and Arhuacos, we will explain to you their costumes, their history, and their current situation since we will meet some of them on our way.
- After two hours of hiking, we will finally arrive at Cabo San Juan Beach, here, you can relax, swim, take lunch and then at 2:30 PM, we return using the same way back to the parking lot, then we will drive back to your place and thus officially finish the experience.
