Sierra Nevada

The Tayrona Park having many beautiful beaches does not mean that you can’t look at the mountain side. Especially in the golden hours, there is often a little bit of fog to highlight the different valleys of the Sierra Nevada.

Cabo San Juan

Another photo of Tayrona Park, but this time seen from the sky, in order to highlight the crystal clear waters of Tayrona Park. The exception makes the rule, To have this kind of photo, you should not shoot at the golden hours of dusk or sunset. Prefer from 9h to 11h so that the sun is not completely vertical above the water and make white reflections.

Bahia Concha

Bahia Concha is one of the most beautiful in Tayrona Park, at least one of my favorites. Located just 30 minutes from Santa Marta, it’s a great place to come and rest on weekends, or even better during the week because it’s less crowded.

Playa Cristal

Playa Cristal is aptly named. It is, after Cabo San Juan, the most touristy of the whole Tayrona Park. You can reach it by car from the Palangana entrance or by boat from Taganga. If you want to take pictures like this one come by land to arrive before the tourists.

Playa Arrecifes

Arrecifes beach is one of the wildest in the park. The path leading to it is now more difficult to access, and nature has regained its rights. There are beautiful stones to photograph, and even a crocodile that comes to sunbathe in the hot hours of the day.

Cabo San Juan del Guia

Cabo San Juan is the picture postcard par excellence of Tayrona Park, and even of all Colombia. It will take you 2 hours to get there on foot, or simply by boat from Taganga (Beware it moves). A piece of advice, spend the night there if you want to take pictures at sunset and sunrise.
