Tayrona Trips & Tours

This National Park is a perfect example of Colombia’s impressive biodiversity, with lush vegetation lining pristine beaches. The Tayrona region’s name originates from the ancient indigenous Tayrona tribe who inhabited the region for more than a thousand years, however, due to colonization in the 17th century, their tribes were almost completely eradicated. Despite colonizing pressure, part of the Tayrona civilization lives on to this day through four indigenous tribes who have maintained their traditional culture, language, and religion. The biodiversity in Tayrona and the Sierra Nevada is like nowhere else; with endless beaches, dense forests and archaeological remains of ancient cities such as Pueblito and Ciudad Perdida – you’ll be sure to see it all here! The Tayrona National Park is located approximately four hours driving distance northeast of Cartagena, nestled between white-sanded beaches and the foothills of the majestic Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta —the highest coastal mountain range in the world. With temperatures ranging between 27 ̊C/82 ̊F and 35 ̊C/95 ̊F, Tayrona enjoys sunshine all year round, with its rainy months falling in September and October.
