Morgan – United States

Daniel was a great tour guide for Tayrona! He spoke passionately about his love for the nature in the park and answered all our random questions about life in Colombia. A great day of walking, swimming, and sun! Highly recommend to anyone looking to go to Tayrona.

If you want to see Tayrona at its best—wild, humid, and full of monkeys—go with Guillermo. Communication was easy, pick-up from Taganga was seamless, and he sorted all tickets and logistics like a man who’s seen things. The hike itself is no stroll in the park (except, technically, it is), but worth every sweaty step. We saw a three-toed sloth, howler monkeys, capuchins, tamarins, bats, lizards, birds, crabs – you name it. Guillermo knew them all, and could explain the region’s history and Indigenous significance without once sounding like a bored schoolteacher. The landscape? Outrageous. White sand beaches with fat, lounging boulders; dense jungle where the light hits like a disco ball; palms straight from a fever dream. And just when you’re thinking it can’t get better, he takes you to a swimming spot so glorious it rewires your brain. Skip the resorts. Do this instead. It’s the Caribbean of my dreams, and Guillermo’s your man.

Full description

Immerse yourself in the beauty of Tayrona National Natural Park during this full-day walking trip. Discover lush forests, stroll along pristine beaches, admire Playa Cabo de San Juan, and savor a traditional Caribbean meal (not included). Explore Tayrona National Natural Park during this private full-day hiking tour. Inhale the fragrance of sun-drenched nature as you observe fauna which have made this paradise their home. Experience one of the world's most beautiful beaches and enjoy authentic Caribbean cuisine. Wander about this natural haven on the Caribbean coast, northeast of Santa Marta, one of South America’s oldest cities. Luxuriate in the golden sunshine as you take in lush flora set against the Sierra Nevada Mountains.  Hike along the coast from Cañaveral, pause at the boulder-strewn Playa Arrecife known for its powerful currents, and continue on to La Piscina. Enclosed with rocks, and mild and shallow, this pool is ideal for swimmers of varying skill levels. Playa Brava sits off the beaten path, a secluded beach nestled amid lush vegetation. Tranquil and serene, it is quieter compared to the highly popular Cabo de San Juan beach. To sunbathe on white sands and snorkel in clear water, walk to Playa Cristal and nibble on grilled seafood as well. Playa Cabo de San Juan, a verdant paradise, is the park’s main attraction. Giant palms wave along the shore and massive boulders rise out of the water. Swim and settle down to a traditional Caribbean lunch afterwards. Sunbathe in the golden sunshine and end your day on a glittering high.

We loved having our guide Alexe along with us as we learned so much about the park and Colombia. We loved the varied landscapes and animals in the park and enjoyed a cooling swim. A great day out.
