Straight after the trek we zoomed to Park Tayrona, specifically El Cabo, for some downtime. Getting there involved a 2 hour walk through jungle which would ordinarily be lovely but it was hot, even early in the day and the paths were deep in mud. This time we were carrying all our gear so by the end we were exhausted and relieved to find...paradise.

Really, this place ticked all my boxes for the idyllic beach - lots of little rock fringed, sheltered bays, deep, clear, warm water, jungle down to the sand and a nice flat spot to sunbake. What I didn't realise is that when jungle meets sand so to do all the jungle ants...so my hot tip is before you leave Santa Marta buy yourself a pet lizard and when you find the perfect spot on the perfect beach - unleash it.

Sadly the camping facilities here are POOR. The staff are rude and the food is terrible. Luckily we got one of the 16 hammocks in the cabana over the rocks, which is a pretty special place to stay - I kept pinching myself because I'm sure one day the little cabana will be turned into a luxury resort and you'll no longer be able to wake up at sunrise, swinging in the sea breeze and listening to the waves crashing below.
