The bus dropped us off at the Parque Nacional Tayrona and as soon as we started our hike towards the beach we knew we were in for a treat. The dense jungle formed a warm canopy that filled our path with a choir of birds and the rustling of reptiles and critters. No longer were we overwhelmed with the odious smells and prolific trash of Santa Marta and Taganga (two major beach disappointments).
We rented a tent and set up camp in a lush field of tropical trees just feet from the beach. We enjoyed the peaceful tranquility of a coastline free of commerce and people. Instead huge sea boulders dotted the various bays of the park backdropped by jungle. We walked from black sandy beaches to white sandy beaches to colorful grainy beaches. We had breakfast on the beach followed by late morning naps, early afternoon reading, and frequent dips in the water.
Our four days there were certainly not enough. We plan on spending more time at the park when we return to the Colombian coast before our sail to Panama. Anyone want to join us?
