Parque Tayrona is a national park and rainforrest reserve near the northern tip of Colombia´s caribbean coast. Throughout the jungle and all over the beaches there are huge boulders that are scattered everywhere. Just to reach there requires a hour hike through the jungle, and 45 minutes along the beach to reach the camp site. We spent week camping on the edge of the rainforrest and the beach under palm trees.
Supplies: Machete, hammock, tent, weeks supply of food, and alot of rum.
Dangers: Fire ants, scorpions, any type of dangerous bug known to mankind, jelly fish, sharks, bats, hangovers, lazyness, and the most dangerous of all- falling coconuts.
We slept in our tent and hammock, lived in our bathing suits, cooked all our own meals over fire, and spent the days on the beach or exploring the jungle. Aside from camping and playing castaway, one day we hiked two hours into the jungle - mountainside and visited a indigineous village which has been in existance for around a 1000 years.
For one week we called Tayrona home, and anyone lucky enough to have even visited just for one day knows how magical it is.
