Cañaveral is one of the first major coastal sectors reached from Tayrona's Zaino entrance. It is visually dramatic, backed by dense vegetation and known for ecohabs and one of the park's classic wild-coast views. It is more about scenery and the experience of being inside Tayrona than about carefree swimming.
