Tayrona National Park





Can you say gorgeous? We made a 3 night trek out to this Colombian treasure. We did a little more jungle trekking than we had planned but it was totally worth it. The first night we had this huge beach to ourself. We stayed on the grounds of an old narco estate. We slept in a tent right on the beach. The next morning we explored the grounds. We can only imagine what the place must of been like back in its hey day!

We hiked several kilometers to Arrefices beach. Here we stayed and slept in hammocks for a 2 nights. That was a big hit for the kids. But two nights were about all the adults could take. We had some time for MORE jungle trekking, a trail ride for Anika, and even some swimming. Most of the beaches had currents deemed unsafe for swimming. We had an adventurous hike (we don't need to talk anymore about this one) to the one safe swimming area.

Park Tayrona was beautiful. We walked a little more than we would have liked, but it was well worth it. Probably some of the most beautiful scenery of the trip!
