Vía Parque Tayrona, Santa Marta, Magdalena, Colombia
Have you ever seen paradise? Well this is as close as you are going to get. A magical place where the jungle meets the sea. A place where you can hike, horseback through the jungle while eating ancient coca leaves for headaches and altitude. Here the ancestors of the land still live and preserve some of its best kept secrets, Lost City, an ancient city that predates Machu Pichu by 650 years. Parque Tayrona is a national park of Colombia, only 2 hours and a half from Barranquilla. Definitely worth the trip and highly recommend it.
