( Welcome to the Jungle )

Tayrona National Park is a magical slice of Colombia’s Caribbean coast, with stunning stretches of golden sandy beach backed by coconut palms and thick rainforest.

Behind it all rise the steep hillsides of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the world’s highest coastal mountain range.

Tairona was a Pre-Columbian culture of Colombia, which consisted in a group of chiefdoms in the region of Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. The Tairona people formed one of the two principal linguistic groups of the Chibchan family, the other being the Muisca.

The park stretches along the coast from the Bahía de Taganga near Santa Marta to the mouth of the Río Piedras, 35km east, and covers some 12,000 hectares of land and 3000 hectares of coral-rich sea.

Entry Fee

The entrance fee is COP$54,500 for foreigners, COP$16,000 for Colombian citizens and COP$8,500 for students (you must bring student ID AND copy of passport to prove you are 25 or under) and children from the age of 5 to 12. The entrance can be booked in advance on the park’s website. That allows to avoid the queue at the entrance and to be sure to be able to enter in the park since the number of entrances are limited. Bags and personal belongings are checked for drugs and glass bottles at the park entrances.

Eat

Food in Tayrona is a bit more expensive than other places in Colombia. An average meal in the park can cost COP$30,000. We recommend to take our take away lunch menu (sandwich or salad)

Sleep

When you arrive at the park entrance, you may be approached by several persons offering you information; however, their main goal is to sell you accommodation. If you know where you want to stay, pre-purchasing accommodation will guarantee there is room for you but, despite what they may tell you, is not required.

How to get there?

Swimming in La Piscina a reef in front of the coast forms a natural swimming pool. Other than Arrecifes it is safe to swim here

Snorkeling at El Cabo is also a great pastime, provided the visibility is good. A variety of marine life including tropical fish can be seen nearer the rocks and on the reef further out into the ocean. It is recommended to bring one’s own snorkeling gear.

Eat

Food in Tayrona is a bit more expensive than other places in Colombia, especially considering the meals’ quality. An average meal in the park can cost COP$30,000. A seafood-focused menu, the costs of transporting ingredients to the park, and marking up for tourists means eating on the beach is not cheap.
