Incentive trips: sports, nature and adventure in Santa Marta

Tayrona

Fifteen thousand hectares of palm trees, beaches, hills, forests, and scrubland, share the landscape with a surfing sea, mangroves, coral reefs, 100 species of mammals, 200 species of birds, 50 species of reptiles, and the archaeological remains of the Tayrona Indians. It truly has no equal on the Colombian Caribbean coast. Horseback rides, rafting in the copious Don Diego River with its rapids and falls, and hiking are especially worthwhile in this amazing park. Lodging is easy in campsites, traditional tourist inns, or the Ecohabs, modern replicas of Tayrona Indian dwellings.
