A thee day hike (moderately difficult, especially due to the hot weather) through the beautiful Tayrona National Park in Colombia.

Day 1: from the Zaino entrance, approx 5km by car to the trailhead. Walking from there through lush jungle to the Cabo San Juan beach to spend the night at the camping there. Trail was mostly dirt path and boardwalk through jungle and along shoreline with some beach walking. No major height differences and hot weather conditions. A short hike back to La Piscina for lunch before returning to the campsite to spend the night in a booked tent.

Day 2: from Cabo San Juan to Playa Brava. Very hot and muggy weather conditions and plenty of climbing and descending. Again mostly through jungle and partly rocky area. Good trail conditions however with some mud in places. Ending the day at Playa Brava with a short hike to the local waterfall and then back to spend the night in our cabaña.

Day 3: starting the day with the steepest ascent of the hike in similar conditions as before. Hot and muggy. Same trail conditions with mostly jungle and rocky paths. Some paved roads and some buildings and infrastructure near the end of the trail near the descent. Ending the route back at Colinas de Calabazo and walking back to our hostal, Mama Tayrona after lunch in the village.

Hiked a total of around 27 kilometres in total with 2 to 3 hours of hiking each day.

About the Calorie Calculator

Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.

When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.

Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
