Full description
At the indicated time, we'll collect participants from the various pickup points in Santa Marta. From there, we'll begin our journey to the Tayrona National Natural Park.
After a 1.5-hour drive, we'll arrive at the entrance of Tayrona National Natural Park, where we'll watch an explanatory video with tips on how to enjoy the natural environment responsibly. Afterwards, we'll return to the vehicle to go to the viewpoint of Playa 7 Olas. Have you brought your camera? There'll be plenty of great photo opportunities!
We'll continue the excursion to Playa Neguanje and later to Playa Cristal - also known as Playa del Muerto and considered the best beach in the park!
Back on dry land, it's time to relax and enjoy yourself! You'll have 5 hours of free time to take a refreshing swim, bask in the sun, hire snorkelling equipment and, of course, refuel with a wholesome lunch!
After we're fed and feeling relaxed, we'll meet up again and begin our journey back to Santa Marta, where we'll conclude our tour after 9 hours of activity in total.
