Colombia
Tayrona National Park El Cabo Campground
Established Campground
El Cabo sits at the eastern edge of Tayrona’s coastline, offering hammock rentals and tent sites steps from pristine white sand and turquoise water. The jungle canopy provides natural shade, while coral reefs just offshore make for world-class snorkeling. Facilities include basic toilets and fresh water taps, but no electricity or hot showers. Crowds peak December through March and during Colombian holidays.
Access requires a 45-minute hike from Cañaveral parking area — no vehicles allowed beyond the entrance station. The trail can be muddy during rainy season (September-November), so pack light and waterproof your gear. Book ahead online during peak season as spots fill quickly.
