00:09let me tell you we decided to take a guided tour to cabo san juan the price was approximately
00:16150 dollars per couple with departure from our apartment at 6 30 a.m the drive from rodadero to
00:24the park entrance which leads to cabo san juan takes about 40 minutes but it actually takes a
00:31little over an hour since they pick up each person on the tour before starting the hike they stop for
00:37breakfast this tour didn't include any meals then the transport enters the park and the distance
00:44from the entrance to where they drop you off to begin the hike is approximately three kilometers
00:49if you go on your own using public transportation without paying for a tour you'll have to walk
00:56those three flat kilometers with a couple of curves now for the fun part travel agencies and tour
01:03packages mention that it's seven kilometers each way but there's a catch the hike up hill takes about
01:09two hours rainforest beautiful trails stair climbs rocky ascents where you can see monkeys of various
01:18species it's somewhat like climbing up to go down to the beach the journey is beautiful and enjoyable
01:25but it is truly tiring the trail takes you past several beaches the only ones suitable for swimming
01:32being arenilla playa pacina and cabo san juan my recommendation is to walk there and return on
01:40horseback which costs 60 000 colombian pesos approximately 15 us dollars the horseback riding experience is
01:49different the return trip takes less than an hour along a parallel path designated only for this purpose
01:55lines of horses already familiar with the route are led by a guide the beaches the most beautiful is
02:04cabo san juan which is incredible and has two distinct sections one with strong waves and another calmer one
02:11the most spectacular photos are taken from the side with the strong waves however the most tranquil beach for
02:20swimming without waves and where the best restaurant el cocatero is located is playa pacina it's a very calm beach
02:29with crystal clear water perfect for enjoying and relaxing we went ahead of the guide to enjoy these two
02:36beaches more but by 4 pm we were already back at our destination to return to santa marta next time
02:44we'll stay
02:44overnight in one of the hotels there but of course they're expensive the experience with this agency was
02:52unique and very welcoming the program organization made the trip very enjoyable and created an unforgettable
02:59experience the agency's punctuality and dedication are noteworthy the park is a unique and beautiful
03:07place with its surrounding nature and well-maintained beaches the tour guides are very friendly and generous
03:14very attentive and their knowledge of the area is very comprehensive they taught us and told us
03:21fascinating stories about the park creating a pleasant atmosphere one of the best experiences i've ever had from
03:30the moment we picked me up from the hotel until my return our guide jose luis exceeded all expectations
03:39depending on your physical condition we were able to visit sacred and mystical places difficult to access but a
03:45truly wonderful experience he's a person deeply connected to nature and incredibly knowledgeable about the area
03:54an experience worthy of a natural park every step led us to an incredible view surrounded by nature and
04:01tranquility that was 100 percent worth it highly recommended excellent guides who provided us with a lot of
04:09valuable information about this wonderful place cabo san juan tirona national park ps stay well hydrated and wear
