Description

The Tayrona National Park is Colombia’s most important and popular national park. It is located in the Caribbean coast of the department of Magdalena and is a fantastic destination for a relaxing, exciting and incredible vacation. Follow us for a stunning half-day hike to explore the park and discover its indigenous tribes.

Tayrona has 2 hiking paths: one to El Pueblito and another one called 9 Stones. This last one is the less visited one, so we’ll probably have most of the path to ourselves. It usually takes an hour and a half to complete starting at El Zaino. The path is mostly a jungle trail (loop) with stunning ocean views. It was named after the stones on the way that indigenous people used to observe the passage of the cosmos.

Some tips for visiting Tayrona: bring insect repellent, sunscreen, and some food and drinks since there are not many options inside the park . And be respectful of the indigenous tribes that live there by taking your trash back.

If you are looking for your next big adventure, you should definitely visit Tayrona National Park! And while you’re at it, follow us for a beautiful hike. Book your trip now!

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
