Wow! Tayrona National Park was absolutely beautiful. We hiked several miles through the jungle, listening to incredibly loud howler monkeys in the canopy above us and watching several capuchin monkeys play around us. Then we hit the beach, swimming at the picture-perfect La Piscina, which we had nearly to ourselves. Eventually we hiked on to the famous Cabo San Juan, where we admired the views and had some drinks. It was pretty crowded here, so we didn’t swim. Zack and the kids hiked back from Cabo San Juan, while I went on to explore some further beaches.
Before the day was over, other animal sightings included an alligator in the lagoon, a blue morpho (huge butterfly) fluttering around, an agouti (kind of like a capybara) crossing the trail, a frog, and numerous lines of leaf-cutter ants. We were all sweaty messes by the time we got back, and our watches told us we hit nearly 30,000 steps…it was worth every one of them!
