It's a blue charm... - Playa Cristal is the evocation of paradise, its clear waters reflect that there are clean and very natural spas. It is an unmissable plan when you visit Santa Marta and yearn only to find peace and find a lot of silence 🏖️🌊.

I slept and rested - The best thing was sleeping at the Hostal Olas Club in Neguanje and going early to the crystal beach, comfortable rooms with air conditioning and private bathroom

pure nature, recharges energy, the sea is spectacular although a little dangerous due to its large waves, you should know nothing - The park is definitely something beautiful, a place to see before you die, the beaches that we cross on the tour are wonderful.

Recommended. - Overall I really enjoyed the experience. The guides are very friendly and passionate when commenting on Tayrona Park and the beach we visited. Silver Crystal is very nice, the water is crystal clear, one swims with fish around. The coral area is beautiful, it has great variety. I loved the coral fan, a delight to see. Spectacular for children because there is no strong wave. Something that I think is great is that the prices of the whole beach are unified, so they can not overcharge you. In addition there are no tiresome vendors who chase you all over the beach, in general the attention is friendly and respectful. The only thing that would improve would be the logistics of collection. It's unclear when they come close. They told me to be in the park the bride and groom at 7:15, but picked me up on another street at almost 8am. So I was waiting a long time standing on a street with my daughter. All the rest, super.

Playa Cristal - The road to Santa Marta was very difficult. From there we took a boat to Crystal Beach. For an hour I broke my back with the huge waves. I understood that these waves are constant. The beach itself is beautiful. Everything costs and no little. Bad Colombian food.

False representation ! - The trip was selling a package it did not provide ! They advertised it has a snorkel tour which it wasn’t ! You had to rent the gear separately at an hourly rate ! I have been on many snorkel tours in Belize , Mexico and Cuba and the gear is not an extra but part of the package !
