Our last beach

Lost in the jungle... again.
... Park. The bus ride went well for about 20mins until I realised I was on the Tayrona bus instead of the Parque Tayrona one. Schoolboy error. Following directions from no less than four different helpful schoolgirls, I found myself on the right road for ...

Beach time
Unfortunately our big dream of a decent nights sleep before setting off again was scuppered by the one-man party that went on that night in the hostel. I must be getting old as this was now the 3rd time on this trip I had got up in the night to ask ...
Caribbean retreat in Tayrona

Another day in Paradise
Oblivious to the earthquake in Chile, we've spent the last 4 days lazing about on the beach in Tayrona National Park, Northern Colombia. The park is about 1hr from Santa Marta by bus/taxi and upon paying the $17 entry fee each, it became apparent that ...
Camping at the beach
This morning we went to Tayrona National Park by boat (about a 45 minute ride). Our first roommate from Taganga we shared a room with, Ryan Rambo (yes Rambo!), joined us well. He is from Seattle. Anyway, ...

Rugged raw beaches of the Caribbean coast

Tayrona National Park is located an hour outside Santa Marta, on the Caribbean shores of Colombia. My mate Mitch, his girlfriend Penelope and I traveled to the park in a taxi, which we thought would be a good option. We were wrong. We were taken along a ...
Hammocking in a National Park
... , where we nearly broke down as the tarmac was so badly damaged! On passing any police control (there are a fair few all over Colombia!), I had to duck down so we didn't get caught and fined... and we had paid good money for this service… crazy! But ...
Mit Käptn Kati am Strand
Ein paar Tage am Strand - genau das richtige für die zwei gestressten Käptns! Und weil wir uns ja auch schon perfekt auskannten im Tayronapark sind wir sofort bis ins letzte Camp durchgewandert, weil es dort eindeutig die schönsten und zum Schwimmen ...
My Tayrona - The Knack
... a swelteringly hot day and we were covered in sweat by the time we'd walked around trying to find the bus that left for Parque Tayrona. As I said, the bus was filled with people and unusual items and we sat waiting on the bus while other items were added ...

The tropical rainy rainforest of Tayrona

Nudie Beachie
I finally got off my ass and left Santa Marta for the Parque Nacional Tayrona. Again, I got screwed on a taxi getting there, but that has become a frequent ritual. I have ceased any polite behavior towards those that are trying to take advantage of me. ...
We find yet more starving insects
To get to Tayrona National Park, we slosh though fishy smelling lane ways at the back of the public markets in search of the local bus, which drops us off at the park entrance. Some kind Colombian tourists give us a lift for the 4km into the park to the ...
Don't Forget The Mayonnaise
Parque Nacional Tayrona is only an hour away from Taganga and has some of Colombia's best beaches. We decided to go for a couple of days and so packed a small bag to take with us and left our rucksacks at the hostel in Taganga. We'd heard that food was ...
