The best time to visit Tayrona Park

Tayrona is tropical all year (26–34 °C), but the sea, the rain and the crowds change a lot by month.

Dry season (December to April) · the best

• Calm sea, dry trails and clear skies.
• Good visibility for snorkeling.
• It's high season: December, January and Holy Week fill up. Book ahead.
• Note: the park closes February 1–15.

Transition (May and June)

• Short afternoon showers begin.
• Fewer tourists and greener scenery.
• The park closes June 1–15.

Mid-year (July and August)

The "veranillo" brings sunny days and school holidays. Turtles start nesting in August.

Rainy season (September to November)

• The park almost to yourself, nature at its best and better prices.
• Rougher sea and frequent afternoon rain. October is the rainiest month.
• The park closes October 19 – November 2.

Our recommendation

For good weather and few people: late November, the first half of December, March (outside Holy Week) and April. For the best sea, December to April. See month-by-month details on Plan your visit and message us for help choosing dates.
