In the north of the country, the beautiful Tayrona National Park combines lush forests, towering mountains and unspoiled deserted beaches with a fascinating indigenous culture. There’s also a huge variety of fauna and flora, with wildlife including monkeys, jaguars, iguanas and several hundred species of birds.
The rustic yet stylish Ecohabs near Santa Marta have just 14 thatched cabins dotted along a forested hill, each with uninterrupted views over the ocean – the perfect place to stay for a Robinson Crusoe adventure, Colombian style.
