Embark on Colombia’s most famous hike inside Tayrona National Park, where lush jungle trails lead to some of the Caribbean’s most stunning beaches. This shared group tour is a great way to experience Cabo San Juan, though please note that guiding is provided primarily in Spanish. Guides may use translator apps to assist with basic explanations in English, but bilingual support is limited.
The day begins with a transfer to the park entrance, followed by a 2.5-hour guided hike. Along the way, groups are usually spread out: one guide leads at the front, another stays mid-group, and the last ensures slower hikers are not left behind. Travelers should be prepared for limited personalized attention during the trek.
The hike includes stops at Arrecifes, a dramatic beach where swimming is not permitted, and La Piscina, a calm bay perfect for swimming. The highlight is Cabo San Juan, a breathtaking double bay where you’ll have free time to swim, relax, and enjoy lunch at a local beachfront restaurant.
Around mid-afternoon, the group begins the return hike. For those seeking an easier way back, horses are available for rent at additional cost. On some days, boat transfers may also be available (extra cost, weather permitting).
This tour is ideal for adventurous travelers, Spanish speakers, or those happy to join a lively group experience in exchange for an affordable way to discover one of Colombia’s most iconic natural treasures.
