Parks & Nature

Tayrona national park is one hour bus ride and 3 hour hike. From the old town, you'll be taking a local bus to the entrance of Tayrona, which picks up at the corner of Calle 11 and Carrera 11. It's extremely cheap, just over $2 (6,000 COP). The buses are constantly running, so just show up and look for a sign in the bus window that says “Tayrona.”
