Cabo San Juan – Tayrona National Park Eco-Hike

A Scenic Coastal Trek to One of Colombia’s Most Iconic Beaches

Highlights:
✔️ Hike through the lush trails of Tayrona National Natural Park
✔️ Discover the raw beauty of Arrecifes and relax at La Piscina
✔️ Arrive at Cabo San Juan, one of the park’s most picturesque beaches
✔️ Swim in crystal-clear waters surrounded by tropical jungle scenery

Embark on a breathtaking eco-adventure in the heart of Tayrona National Park, where jungle trails, tropical beaches, and coastal landscapes await. This day trip to Cabo San Juan combines nature, culture, and relaxation in one unforgettable experience.

Your journey begins with a scenic drive to the park entrance, followed by a 2.5-hour guided hike along the coastline. The first section of the trail winds through the jungle with gentle hills and a beautiful viewpoint overlooking Cañaveral Beach. From there, the path becomes flatter as you descend toward the coast, passing through mangroves and lush forest on your way to Arrecifes—a wild and rugged beach where swimming is not permitted, but the views are truly spectacular.

Continue along the trail to reach La Piscina, a calm and inviting beach framed by smooth rock formations, ideal for swimming and relaxing.

The highlight of the tour is your arrival at Cabo San Juan, a stunning double bay surrounded by green hills and palm-lined shores. Take time to swim, unwind, and explore the beach, all while enjoying the natural beauty that makes this one of Colombia’s most iconic coastal destinations.

Around 2:00 PM, you’ll begin the return hike through the jungle path. For a more relaxed option, you can rent a horse for the return journey (at an additional cost), or, if available, choose a scenic boat ride back to Santa Marta (also at an additional cost, weather permitting).

This tour is perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and adventure travelers looking to experience one of the Caribbean coast’s most breathtaking environments.
