Tayrona National Park, Colombia




 
                                     

21.02.13

Not far from Santa Marta, ´Parc Tayrona´ is famous for its glorious beaches. It´s also home to immense fauna and flauna and I saw lots of interesting delights during my two days here, including this colourful jellyfish. Its an hour and a half hike through the park to get to the first campsite and the beaches are not much further. 
We slept in hammocks again and drunk ´ron´on the beach, gazing up at the moon...bliss.

Cocora Valley, Salento - Colombia







22.01.13

A group of us from the hostel spent 4-5 hours trekking through the 'Valle de Cocora' which is part of the Los Nevados National Park. The valley is home to the national tree of Colombia the 'Wax Palm' reaching up to almost 50 meters in height. 
Whilst here, we stopped at a Hummingbird Reserve to admire these beautiful creatures. There super speedy so its almost impossible to get them to stay still long enough for a decent picture. We also indulged in more of the hot chocolate and cheese snack. Weirdly, I think its growing on me. Something to take back to the UK perhaps.....
