March 21: Tayrona National Park.

_At 7 am we took a mini van to Tayrona, organized by an agency, $10 each way. This way we saved time and got there earlier, also skipping the first 45min hike. There was going to be a lot to hike there anyway. Park entrance fee is $20. In Tayrona there are several beaches and jungle trails, you can walk or ride a horse. We walked all the way thru jungle and from beach to beach: 45 min to Don Pedro Hostel  + 15min to the long Arecife beach where it's not advisable to swim because of currents and rough sea, + 30min to Las Piscinas & Arenita beaches where you can snorkel in nice turquoise calmer water, + 45min to Cabo San Juan where there are beautiful rock formations, swimming is allowed and there's a Hostel, + more deserted beaches 15-30min walk away, including a nudist beach. The prices are quite high here: $7 for just a hammock at Don Pedro - the cheapest- and $15 at Cabo San Juan. Very basic, not much care, cleanliness or taste anywhere. There are also luxury options at Canaveral beach but not allowed by my current budget. We walked all the way to Cabo and further, for about 3hrs, and we decided to be very adventurous and sleep in a gorgeous desert beach on our double hammock... the alternative was to sleep still on a hammock but next to other 20 people! After dinner at the Cabo camping restaurant, we walked back along the beach and in the jungle to our hammock spot for 15min in pitch dark but we had our head lights and brave hearts! We also make a fire, nice.
