Meet your guide for a tailored walk through the lush rainforest of Tayrona National Park, one of the best places to visit in Colombia for its extraordinary biodiversity and coastal landscapes. A private transfer from Santa Marta brings you to the Cañaveral entrance, where the trail begins.

Along the way, watch for birds, monkeys, squirrels, and peccaries as you reach the dramatic shoreline of Arrecifes, where swimming is restricted due to strong currents. Continue to Piscina Natural for a refreshing swim, then hike to Cabo San Juan de Guía to enjoy lunch surrounded by stunning Caribbean views.

Explore Taironaka, a natural and archaeological reserve built atop an ancient Tayrona settlement. Walk along stone terraces, stairways, drainage systems, and house foundations that reveal the sophisticated urban design of this pre-Hispanic city.

Visit the Tayrona Museum, home to more than 300 authentic pottery pieces that offer insight into daily life and ancestral traditions.

After lunch, enjoy a short walk to the river followed by a scenic boat ride to Don Diego, with optional tubing through the surrounding rainforest.

Relax during a private transfer from Santa Marta to Cartagena, enjoying coastal panoramas, comfortable seating, and optional stops at fishing villages or scenic viewpoints while a professional driver manages all logistics.

Upon arrival in Cartagena, our local team assists with hotel check-in and offers a personalized welcome that marks the next chapter of your Colombia itinerary.

Tailored recommendations can include guided walks through the walled city, food tastings, and sunset experiences, each designed to reveal the city’s authentic culture and create a truly tailor-made journey.

Begin the day at the Convento de la Popa, taking in sweeping panoramic views over Cartagena. Continue to the impressive Castillo de San Felipe, where you walk through its tunnels and learn about the city’s strategic defensive history.

Stroll through the artisan markets of Las Bóvedas to browse crafts and antiques, then conclude with a visit to the Iglesia y Convento de San Pedro de Claver, exploring its baroque architecture, peaceful cloister, museum, and the priest’s preserved cell.

A private transfer from your hotel to the port begins your journey from Cartagena to Isla Grande in the Rosario Islands, where you enjoy the Majagua Silver Package.

Board a shared motorboat operated by Hotel San Pedro de Majagua for a scenic ride of approximately sixty minutes to the island.

Once there, spend the day snorkeling or diving among coral reefs, strolling the island’s paths, enjoying a relaxing massage, or unwinding at the beachfront bar. Return to Cartagena in the late afternoon.
