OVERVIEW

Tayrona is a coastal region in northern Colombia, with forest, beaches and rocky headlands beneath the Sierra Nevada. Indigenous communities maintain strong cultural connections to the landscape. The combination of rainforest hills, granite coves and caribbean beaches across a protected coast where indigenous heritage and biodiversity meet and coastal region gives the wider destination a distinct physical and cultural structure.

Walking and beach stays provide the main experiences, while heat and humidity are intense. Closures and access rules should be checked in advance. Experiencing rainforest hills alongside granite coves and caribbean beaches across a protected coast where indigenous heritage and biodiversity meet reveals more of the destination than focusing only on its best known visitor area.
