Parque Tayrona - Day 2

Parque Tayrona - Day 2 - We set off to hike up to Pueblito, which translates to small town. We walked back to the pool area and found another trail that led us to another camping area that seemed to be exclusively for camping in tents called Cabo de San Juan del Guia. We stopped for a while to explore the area because it had more beautiful beaches, cold drinks, and a hammock filled cabaña on a small portion of a land that jutted out into the sea. We walked up the small path to the cabaña and took some great pictures and just enjoyed the serenity of the view. We decided to put off our hike to Pueblito to the following day and spend the day at the beach of Cabo de San Juan. This was a great idea except we were not really prepared for a day at the beach as much as a day of hiking so I wasn´t wearing swimming shorts but just regular shorts that I swam in, we had no towel to dry off with after swimming, and we were covered in mosquito repelant. The camping area had a restaurant that served some really fresh seafood, fish, and other things. We pretty much spent most of the day there swimming, eating, and just relaxing but our lack of preparedness for a day at the beach was a little annoying to me. As we began our walk back to the hotel, we realized it was prime time of the day for mosquitos so we took the key to the cabaña and walked as quickly as possible back so as not to put our yellow fever vaccines to the test nor spend the rest of the night scratching itchy bites. After a shower at the cabaña, we walked back to the beach in front of our hotel, not swimmable due to the strong undertow, and found a bunch of horses relaxing on the beach. The beautiful beaches and the naturalness to the park is something that is really amazing and relaxing. The seclusion is also really relaxing as a break from civilization is something that we don´t get often enough in our busy lives.
