Two and a half hours walk to the beach from the main entrance but totally worthy. Though you can arrive and/or leave by boat. Can visit some parts of the park in one day but if you can spend there more that one day you won't regret it.

This park is a natural treasure, full of biodiversity and beauty. Awesome views and paradise beaches. The perfect place to reconnect with the nature.

Bring comfortable shoes and arrive early to avoid long lines.

Great place to visit. The hike in is great if you like to walk. Could be a little challenging if not. It's approximately 7km each way if you decide to walk. You can also take a horse one of the directions or both if you choose. You will come across indigenous people also lots of wildlife such as monkeys and crocodiles! And then time to relax at the beautiful beaches!

It was pretty cool. I'd advise people to spend the night, tho. It's a 2.5 hour walk after they drop you off at the parking lot (they ride was 5,000 pesos), so it's good to be able to relax. They recommend to go back at 3, so you can catch a bus back to Santa Marta.

Very nice Park in Colombia 🇨🇴

Great! It's not an experience for everyone, if you are not used to Walking a few hours or ride a horse for at least one hour it can be somewhat harsh. The park has a lot of beaches, you can not swim in all of them, but there are designated places where you can. Do your research before you go, look at the map and the distance from the entrance of the park to your hotel and from your hotel to the beach. Food can be somewhat expensive but you can bring food into the park.
