Day 5: Tayrona National Park!



We woke up this morning and had a nice breakfast on the rooftop of our hostel. After breakfast we packed everything up and went to the beach to catch the boat to Tayrona National Park. It took about an hour to get to the park. The water was pretty rough, but not nearly as bad as the other boat ride. We also only had about ½ the amount of people on the boat, which was much better. We got to Tayrona and they dropped us off at El Cabo beach, which is the best beach in the park and the place where everyone camps. It was pretty awesome. El Cabo has white sand beaches and super clear water.  It’s pretty much a backpacker’s oasis, filled with other backpackers from all over the world. There was one little open air restaurant where everyone ate and hung out. 

We spent the day relaxing on the beach, swimming and snorkeling in the ocean.  Later in the afternoon, I feel asleep on the beach later and the tide came in got me all wet. I freaked out for a second because I didn’t know what was happening or where I was. The guys next to me were cracking up and thought it was just hilarious…I didn’t think it was so funny…ok, it was kind of funny.  We decided to rent the hammocks for the night instead of the tents because we heard it was a lot cooler in the hammocks since you had the breeze off the ocean, plus when else in our lives will we have an opportunity to do that?! We’ll see how it goes!
