Mendihuaca beach & Tayrona National Park

After our ‚holidays‘ in Palomino we continued our journey to another beach destination near the Tayrona National Park: Medihuaca beach. It was a real lucky shot! A small stretch of a beach lined with wooden guesthouses, a couple of restaurants and many pretty lights - a very instagrammable place ;) But very, very peaceful! After spending a very quiet night in our rooms with sea view (to the sound of the waves 🥰), we left our big luggage in the hostel and went to the Tayrona National Park to spend our first night ever in a hammock 😍
The Tayrona National Park is famous for it‘s beautiful beaches and and it really lived up to its reputation ❤️ The only sad thing was that due to strong currents and big waves, it is not allowed to swim at most of them, so we simply enjoyed the view of it in the scorching 36 degrees 🫠 Our ‚campsite‘ was the most famous one in the park: Cabo San Juan. And fortunately, we were allowed to swim there! Due to the many daytours aiming at Cabo San Juan it is a very busy spot with a bar and a restaurant, but still crystal clear turquoise waters reminding us of Thailand and Sardinia. As the Park closes at 17:00 (at least for those who did not book a night inside the park) the evening was wonderfully quiet ✨And - despite our fears and worries - sleeping in the hammocks went better than expected and may not be the last time we will opt for it! We wished we would have had more time to explore the park, but Sebastian had to catch a flight 😢 So we said our goodbyes on Medihuaca beach and our now-trio indulged on one additional night just for the peace of it before heading back to the city life of Cartagena✌🏼Read more
