Don’t forget, it takes 1 hour walk to reach the area.
Camping Yuluka
The campsite has huge green areas for camping, has its own sanitary shower area as well as a restaurant with typical and good quality cuisine (a little expensive though).
This campsite is located only 45 minutes walk from the Cañaveral area,
There are hammocks and camping area, restaurant, bathrooms and showers.
It is halfway between the beaches of Cañaveral and Cabo San Juan del Guía.
For those on a budget, the campsite has modest cabins at 180€ per night in low season with breakfast included.
A little extra that I really appreciated:
The lockers are all equipped with 2 electric sockets inside the lockers, which allows you to charge your phones and other accessories and keep them safely under lock and key when you are out and about.

Don Pedro
This campsite is hidden in the middle of the forest. When you arrive in Arrecifes, you have to turn left…
This is probably the most pleasant place in the Tayrona park.

Pro Tip
You can contact Camping Don Pedro via Facebook, they will answer you very quickly.
Jacobo B
it’s the cheapest option in the park.
With your own tent, it’s 3€ per person per night, but the campsite looks more like a vaguely cleared land than a camping site .
Cabo San Juan Sector
Cabo San Juan del Guia
It is the most popular campsite in the whole park where all the backpackers want to sleep, and for good reason, it is the most enchanting setting in the whole park.
It looks like a music festival campground in high season, there are long queues at all the posts
Catering: quality is fine, but more expensive than elsewhere (around 10 usd the meal)
There is a small shop with basic things to buy
- Hammock: 50.000 Cop
- Tent: 30.000 Cop
- Vip room: 200.000 Cop
- Website : www.cabosanjuantayrona.com
- Tel: 333 356 99 12

Pro Tip 1
Ask to sleep in the famous emblematic pavilion overlooking the beach of Cabo San Juan.
Lulled by the waves, it houses about 20 hammocks and is the most coveted place to sleep in the entire park, offering fantastic views of the sea, beaches and mountains.
There are also two private double rooms on the top floor of the viewpoint.
Drawbacks : the lockers are smaller, and there are people who spend the whole day enjoying themselves on the terrace
Pro Tip 2
If you want to sleep in Cabo San Juan, I strongly advise you to arrive as soon as possible.
First of all, because the sun is very strong between 11am and 3pm, it will be unbearably hot,
Second, there’s a good chance that after 3:00 p.m, everything will be full, especiallu in december / january
Now you know…
Pro Tip 3
In high season, make sure you have a place by booking in advance on the cabosanjuandelguia.com website.
Take your food with you if you want to save
Bringing a tent will save you money and you will also have a quieter corner.
Think about the return by boat from Cabo to Taganga, departure around 15h30-16h.
Remember to sleep at night in the hut on the headland!
After 10am, when the beach becomes too crowded, consider the nudist beach, where there will be almost nobody !!!
Sanitation
The facilities are rudimentary, but sufficient.
There may be queues during rush hour.
The shower is only open during certain hours and there is only cold water,
So, Sleeping in Cabo San Juan: is it worth it or not?
For years I have advised against spending the night there, being the type to prefer rather remote places.
I confess I was wrong!
In fact, I had only seen it crowded during the day, and thought it was the same at night.
But in reality,
Sleeping there allows you to have privileged moments.
Between 06h and 10h in the morning and after 16h, there’s hardly anyone around!
We then enjoy an idyllic calm and tranquillity
Advantages:
– It is the beach that offers the closest proximity between the accommodation area and the beach. In the morning, you only have 100m to do for your swim.
– If you’re looking to disconnect Cabo is perfect !
– Easy and pleasant swimming
Disadvantages:
- The prices are relatively high in Cabo San Juan, count 40.000 Cop in hammock and 30.000 Cop for a meal.
- Avoid the high season: long queues at the restaurant
Calabazo Area
Playa Brava Teyumakke
This is the beach for real adventurers not you find yourself on the beach, alone in the world, in a setting made of wooden huts and palm roofs, rudimentary but perfect for disconnection! (No wifi… obviously)
