Description

This is not conventional tourism. It is an intimate and transformative experience, guided by a local who knows, lives, and feels Tayrona Park. A journey for those who want to go beyond the postcards and delve into the life that breathes in the forest, the tensions that run through it, and the spiritual and cultural richness that sustains it. Here, you don't just tour nature: you listen to it, respect it, and learn from it. We start at the alternative entrance of Calabazo, far from the crowded routes, where silence and the jungle welcome us. A few minutes later, we stop at a 360° viewpoint, an elevated spot from which you can see both the Caribbean Sea and the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. A pause to take a deep breath and understand the magnitude of this sacred territory. From there, a demanding three-hour hike through the tropical rainforest begins. The sound of howler monkeys, birds, and leaves under our feet accompanies us until we reach a secluded, paradisiacal beach. There we have lunch, rest, and set up our accommodation for the night. With light backpacks, we set off on a trail that leads us to a hidden waterfall. A natural sanctuary where fresh water offers us a purifying bath in the middle of the jungle. On our return, night envelops us with its starry sky and the lull of the sea. At dawn on the second day, we resume our journey to Cabo San Juan, crossing ancient trails used by indigenous peoples since time immemorial. On the way, we pass through Pueblito, an ancient Tayrona settlement steeped in history and spirituality. Access depends on the decisions of the indigenous communities: if it is open, we visit its archaeological remains; if not, we learn about its history with respect for its guardians. Before reaching Cabo San Juan, we stop at two nudist beaches: peaceful spots with clear waters and silence, ideal for reconnecting with oneself and experiencing the Caribbean without filters. In Cabo San Juan, we have lunch and rest. Then we continue along the coastal route, visiting La Piscina, Arenilla, Arrecifes, and Cañaveral, with time for refreshing swims. We end with the 9 Stones Trail: a symbolic farewell to the territory, inviting us to reflect on our relationship with the Earth. We finish the route by leaving the Zaino sector before 5:00 p.m., with tired bodies, expanded souls, and hearts full of profound memories that only the real Tayrona can offer. Important: this experience is a trek through the rainforest and ancient indigenous trails, with uneven and demanding terrain. Good physical condition, mental readiness for effort, and a responsible attitude are required. The level of difficulty is high, and the physical demands are assumed by each participant.
