Tayrona National Park

Diving in Tayrona National Park offers a unique fusion of lush jungle landscapes and vibrant Caribbean reefs. The park’s protected status nurtures a healthy underwater ecosystem across its 12 designated dive sites, which are characterized by impressive rocky formations, vibrant coral gardens, and small caverns. This topography creates a diverse habitat for a wide array of marine species, making every dive an exploration. The dramatic scenery, both above and below the water, sets Tayrona apart from other Caribbean destinations.

Conditions are generally favorable, though they vary seasonally. A key feature is the annual upwelling from December to April, which brings cooler, nutrient-rich waters and exceptional visibility. While this requires a thicker wetsuit, it also makes the marine life more active. Divers should visit Tayrona to experience this unique ecological event and for the incredible opportunity to combine world-class diving with trekking through one of South America's most stunning national parks.
