For the next couple of days, we (Stephan and Torsten) are on the road, visiting different spots in Colombia to gather first hand information about the current travel situation in times of the Corona pandemia.
Today was another great day, that started with a delicious breakfast on the terrace of La Maloka Barlovento. Its great view of the sea, the river, the waves and the surroundings was simply breathtaking.
Afterwards we went to the Tayrona Nationalpark, whose entrance is only 5 minutes away. After having been closed for about 8 months, the park re-opened just yesterday, so today there were only few visitors, which made the experience even more special. The hike through the tropical jungle from Cañaveral, along the beaches of Arrecife and La Piscina to Cabo de San Juan took us through varied landscapes that are home to diverese wildlife - we saw monkeys, exotic birds and even a snake, which made itself comfortable on the branches onl about 2 meters from the trail.
After about 2 hours we finally arrived at Cabo de San Juan, a picture-perfect dream beach. We stopped for a swim, to refresh and recharge the batteries for the way back.
In the early afternoon it was time to leave and from the car park in Cañaveral we headed directly to our next accommodation, only about 20 min from the entrance of the park, to the hotel Gitana del Mar. This resort is, without a doubt, one of the best in the whole area. It is located directly on the beach and has 10 attractive bungalows, a small pool, hammocks, a place for yoga and meditation - and all this under palm trees with ocean view. We were thrilled! The tropical rain shower at night, did not bother us at all, rather the contrary, it made us sleep and dream even deeper.
Stay tuned...tomorrow we head to Cartagena!
