Fun hiking to Pueblito

Hiking to Pueblito, the heart of the park and the home of archaeological ruins is one of the exciting activities to look out for at the park. The relics are those of the indigenous city of Tairona which are only accessible via hiking up the hills from Cabo San Juan. On your way to the archaeological ruins of Pueblito, you would get to meet some indigenous people of Kogi who still dwell on the site. And this serves as a great avenue for you to learn one or two things about the modern culture of the people. #pueblito #colombia #hiking #cabosanjuan #park

Most times, scuba dives are organized in the surroundings of Tayrona Park, including places such as Santa Marta and Taganga. These places are where you would launch a boat deep into the waters to explore the wonders of the National Park. #scuba #diving #tayrona #corals #boat
