My stay was at the Cabo San Juan Viewpoint again feel the sensation of sleeping in a hammock and listening to the sound of the sea all night is priceless, beautiful place to rest, recharge, connect and / or disconnect. Of the best experiences lived lately.
Excellent experience, the guide Luis super willing to make things easier and that we can enjoy every moment. A crack!! We did the round by boat and that was another very nice experience. Highly recommended
A trip, where you have a beautiful encounter with nature and protected area, ancestral culture and valuation and care of natural resources
A unique, authentic park where you come up against the wildest nature, the sea, native people and perceive you are away from everything and everyone. A park different from the others because here, the encounter with nature gives unique and different emotions. You have to try to understand. Walk 2/3 hours to get to the middle and then immerse yourself in the beautiful waters, eat something typical and then stay overnight or return to the entrance by 5.30 pm, closing time. Highly recommended experience. Entering the park you can do it yourself. Needless to add more... you have to walk, watch and listen!
The hiking trip is short, this is just a small jungle with various of trees, animals etc. Most people go there not for the nature, but for the beach.
Thank you for sharing your experience. The visit to Cabo San Juan, located inside Tayrona National Park, is an experience that combines walking along the park’s natural trails with the enjoyment of one of its most iconic beaches. The hike allows visitors to pass through a tropical forest ecosystem, home to a variety of flora and fauna, and is an essential part of accessing the beach, as this is a protected natural park. For many travelers, the main attraction is the sea and the beach at Cabo San Juan, while for others the value lies in the connection with nature along the trail. For this reason, our tour description clearly indicates that the experience includes walking on natural trails, so each visitor can determine whether the tour matches their interests and physical condition.
I noticed the walk to Cabo San Juan. I can say that the staff has always been available and patient in clarifying all doubts. The guides are very prepared and did not forget to give us every information you would need. I liked the care you have taken with us and our documents. During the tour we have seen monkeys, alligators and several beaches. In addition we find some indigenous peoples. There is the possibility to reserve horse, in the restaurant in Cabo San Juan the things of value were safe and we did very well. Cabo San Juan is a parasitic beach. Super recommend the ride with Living Tours.
Do not book: i receieved no communication from this operator. My messages and phone callls went unanswered. Viator Support provided me with the incorrect pick-up site. The operator claims to communicated with me but provided no evidence. Viator refuses to take responsibility for incorrect information.
Go there yourself via Uber and be taken to the last entrance of the park. The route is established and the ‘guides’ are only there to take you to Cabo. From there if you are tired you can take a boat for 90000 cops (which I absolutely do NOT recommend for the conditions in which they are and for the water that will come to you for the following 50 minutes). You can also go back on horseback or on foot. There was only one particularly good guide who explained everything to you in detail (Juan). If you are not with him, walk independently and enjoy this beauty on your own.
The hiking was easy, most of it was in the shades but you have to be in shape. The views were amazing! The guides explained everything on the way and everything was on time.
Good outing. I think they should spend more time at the beach and have the guide explain more but it is recommended and safe.
