To get to Cabo San Juan from Tayrona Park you can do it through the Zaino entrance. The way to the beach of Cabo San Juan del Guía is marked by paths that will guide you and you will have to walk for approximately 2 or 3 hours. Before arriving at Cabo San Juan beach, you must go through Cañaveral Beach, Arrecifes Beach, Arenilla Beach, and finally La Piscina beach. After 15 minutes of walking along the path, you arrive at the beach of Cabo San Juan del Guía.

If you plan to do a tour of all the beaches, we recommend you go as early as possible and bring plenty of water, a bathing suit, sunscreen, and cash. Remember that to enter Tayrona Park you must pay a fee of $17,500 or $23,000 if you are Colombian or $51,000 if you are a foreigner.

If you are not very good at walking, one option to get to the beach is to rent a horse because the beach is too far from the entrance to Zaino. Horse rental is priced at 20,000 Colombian pesos each way (5.2 dollars).

To get to Cabo San Juan by boat you can do it from the town of Taganga. From the town's beaches, the boat leaves for Tayrona Park, where the travel time is 50 minutes and costs 45,000 Colombian pesos (11.8 dollars).

You will know that you have arrived at Cabo San Juan when you find a lot of vegetation and see a hill in the middle of the sea where at the top there is a kiosk with hammocks and rooms with beds. This is one of the most incredible viewpoints in Colombia. In this area there are also restaurants and a large area for camping or sleeping in hammocks; the average price per night for camping is 60,000 Colombian pesos (15.7 dollars) per person.
