Santa Marta & Tayrona Beach | @hanselmusic
It’s been long since I had been on a beach. Some friends and myself planned a trip to the beach and finally we’re here!
Santa Marta is a city on the beach in Colombia. It’s a place where I wanted to visit again but for some reasons a haven’t been able to go. This city is known for its beaches, the good weather and some national parks like Tayrona.
After having a nice walk around the city downtown, we were ready to wake up very early and go to the Tayrona Beach.
Our way stared at 5:45 am. A bus picked us up and took us to the main entrance of the park. It is a natural park, so as usual in Colombia, it’s full of paramo.
This walk took us 1 hour and a half to get to the first beach, meanwhile we were surrounded by the nature, trees, bugs and some animals.
I liked the weather, despite the heat we were covered by the trees and that made that our walk was easier or at least we did it get so tired.
The first beach was very nice, not so big but the water was so clear and not full of people, so my friends went directly to wet their feet.
After another 40 minutes of walking, we finally had reached our destination, Tayrona Beach!
A bigger beach, more people and an awesome sea, we were ready to spend the day in this place.
The first thing I did was eating something cause I was starving and then I took a nap because of the tiredness I had.
After that, I was ready to jump into the sea. But first I wanted to explore the beach and see what’s all around us.
We were ready with my friends to go into the sea and we did some snorkeling, we found some fishes and coral. The waves were so fun to swim into, I really missed it for a long time.
After spending some hours at the beach we were ready to go back, so we had the option to walk again or horse riding, we chose the second option.
We hired some horses and it was so good. Something I liked is that this horses were not harmed by the owners, they looked healthy and full of power.
So it took one hour to return to the main entrance and finish our day at Tayrona Beach.
It was a nice trip and now we’re enjoying the final part of our vacations on the hostel which is an awesome one.
Thanks for reading me and I hope you enjoyed this little adventure. See you soon!
