In or outside Tayrona National Park?

There is a lot of choice of accommodations in and around Tayrona national park. Whether you should stay in the park or outside it depends very much on what you want to do and what your budget is. Accommodations (and food and drink) inside the park are usually very basic and a lot more expensive than (just) outside, while from a hotel or hostel just outside the park you can still be in the park in 5 minutes.

Tip #1
Do you have the time and want to do several hikes in the park?
Then stay 1 or 2 nights in a hotel in the park. You’ll experience the park without the crowds of the many day-trippers, and you can head out early in the morning to go hiking. Spending the night in the park can be “budget” in a hammock or tent, or expensive in an eco-cab. There are also a number of mid-range hotels. We do recommend choosing a hotel or campsite in a location not too close to the main Zaino entrance, where it is busier and noisier and the distances to the beaches are also greater. Tip: Cabañas Tequendama Playa Arrecifes Parque Tayrona is in a central location in the middle of the park and closer to the beaches.

Tip #2
Want to spend the night in an adventurous place away from the many tourists?
Then Ecolodge Playa Brava Teyumakke (Calabazo) is probably more your thing.

Tip #3
Want to chill after your hike in the park in a comfortable hotel with pool and/or spa facilities?
Then book one of the hostels or hotels just outside the park, such as Kantawa Eco Spa hotel. Dit hotel ligt in Calabazo, op een taxirit van een kwartiertje van de Zaino ingang. Wij vonden het heerlijk om na onze hike in het park te genieten van het zwembad met hydromassages, de jacuzzi, sauna en turks stoombad. Een andere aanrader is het Senda Koguiwa hotel, which is opposite the Zaino entrance to the park.

Tip #4
Even if you want to stay at the beach a little further away, there are several options, where you can get to Tayrona within a 10-25 minute drive. In Los Naranjos, Costeño Beach and Tatanga, you’ll find several beachfront hotels, taking you to Tayrona within 10-25 minutes. Just outside Tayrona in Los Naranjos, you will find some (especially) luxury accommodations. Costeño Beach is a little further away. This is a popular beach with backpackers and here you will find many affordable hostels and cabañas. Taganga is located just under 5 km from Tayrona National Park. Here you will find many hostels in the cheaper price range. You could spend the night here and then take the boat to Cabo San Juan del Guia, weather and wind permitting.
