Tayrona National Park - hidden paradise

Having returned to civilisation after 6 days hard slog in the jungle, we headed to Tayrona National Park to hang out on the beach and do nothing. That´s exactly what we did. Each day involved sleeping in a hammock, waking up for sunrise, hanging out on the beach, collecting coconuts (those trees are a death threat, we could hear them dropping all night on our hut!) and mangoes and then playing cards and nodding off at the latest by 10 or 11, on a late night. It was heaven! We stayed 4 days, until our money ran out (bank machines don´t exist out there, along with every other normal modern luxury). We then headed back to Santa Marta reluctantly, as we knew it would be at least another month before we were back on the beach and it would be the last time we saw the Caribbean. What a swan song!!
