YELLOW FEVER CERTIFICATE
By law you need to have received the yellow fever vaccination before entering
Parque Tayrona. It may or may not be checked, but if there is a law, there is a
reason. It's better for your long-term health to have taken this precaution.

subject to arrest. Do not bring in any alcohol either. It will be confiscated.
PARK ENTRY FEES

EASTERN TAYRONA
From the Zaira Gate
After you have been searched, you will need to pay the fee to enter the park.
When you enter the park, you will need to ride on a shuttle that will take you up
close to the trails. You may have to wait for the shuttle. You could walk, but this
would be like adding a pre-hike to your hike, so why kill yourself.
There are different sections of the park, but the most popular ones are easily the
Cabo San Juan and Arrecifes areas. The trail head starts in the Canaveral section.
