Unfortunately I couldn’t stop at Parque Tayrona due to a 15 day clahutdown of the park.
Palomino is a little pueblito East of Santa Marta at the Caribbean coast. It is dominated by French tourists. If you are looking to relax and chill at the beach for a while Palomino is the best place to do so. Santa Marta and Cartagena are both big towns with packed beaches (and tourist prices). Where as Palomino is much smaller and less crowded.
