Gairaca Beach: Tayrona Park Colombia

The adventure begins at 8:00 a.m. leaving from our office in Santa Marta. We will cross the city enjoying its urban landscapes before taking the detour to the Tayrona Park through the Palangana entrance, a less crowded access that takes us through a road full of nature to the park’s checkpoint.

There, National Park officials will give us an introductory talk about biodiversity and the importance of conserving this natural treasure.

Then we will continue the tour through a path surrounded by vegetation for about 40 minutes until we reach Gairaca Beach. Upon arrival, we will find a paradise of tranquility where we can relax and enjoy the sea. This beach is perfect for swimming in its clear waters or simply resting under the shade of a tent.

At noon we will enjoy a typical lunch of the region, usually with a choice of fresh fish, while we share a cultural talk guided by a local who will tell us about the indigenous communities that inhabit the surroundings and the cultural and historical value that this beach has for them.

During the rest of the day, you will have free time to swim, practice basic snorkeling from the shore, or if you wish, hire a professional snorkeling service that includes a talk about marine fauna and a deeper tour among reefs and tropical fish. You will also have the option of taking a boat to visit other beaches in the park, ideal for exploring and snorkeling in an even wilder environment.

Before returning to Santa Marta, we will make a stop at the impressive Siete Olas viewpoint, a place that offers unforgettable postcards of the sea breaking strongly against the coast. The return is scheduled around 5:00 p.m., concluding a day full of peace, nature and connection.
