Taganga and PNN Tayrona

We couldn't decide where we should go after Cartagena, even now that we had our Bible (The Lonely Planet). In the end we went with the easiest option - follow our new friends from the boat to Taganga and Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona. Done. 

We didn't know much about either but they turned out to be beautiful. Taganga is a small town set on a horseshoe bay. The colours there are amazing, all deep blues and oranges. Taganga made it feel like I was finally really in Colombia. 


We had an afternoon in Taganga before heading over to check out PNN Tayrona.There's a little bit of trekking and a whole of lazing on beaches here. We stayed for one night in the park where there's not a whole lot to do after dark. Pro Tip: bring cards and friends. On our second day we beach crawled all the way back to entrance, quite a relaxing two day and some prime reading time.

The water is so cold and the sun so hot

Found a few of these guys hanging out

Where we spent the night, all the hammocks were full


Thanks to Alex's efforts we got to snack on some fresh coconut. Throwing them against a rock really does work!
After PNN Tayrona we spent a couple of more nights in Taganga were we danced to Bailando (a Latin American Staple) at possibly the world's windiest club.
