The Tayrona National Park is located at the foot of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta reserve and is one of the country’s most popular natural attractions. Once home to the Tayrona people, the area still encompasses sacred sites occupied by indigenous groups, and archaeological remains that include the pre-Hispanic town of Pueblito, an ancient town scattered with archaeological remains. Along with its cultural heritage, Tayrona is also known for some of the most beautiful beaches on the coast and an incredible array of wildlife – over 100 mammal species, 300 bird species and 1000 marine species can be found within the boundaries of the park.
