Why live this experience in Colombia?


To one side the waves lash the volcanic rocks that line the beach; Turning his head to the other side, the view seems to find a mirage, as it gives the impression that a piece of the Amazon jungle had risen in the middle of the Caribbean.

In the department of Magdalena, 34 km from the beautiful city of Santa Marta, Colombia is the Tayrona National Natural Park, a sanctuary of nature and archaeological remains that invite you to encounter yourself. Ecosystems such as mangroves, corals, algae grasslands, thorny thickets and magical dry, humid and cloudy forests proliferate and host a surprising variety of plant and animal species that are a testimony of life. White sand beaches that preserve a special natural environment.

In this park you can practice the sighting of flora and fauna, especially birds, in the process of extinction.
