Scuba Diving in Tayrona National Park

The quaint little fishing village of Taganga was our jumping off point to explore and scuba dive in Tayrona National Park.  We stayed at Hotel Oso Perezoso (Lazy Bear), which is a very cool 5 level tree house with hammocks on the various perches for sleeping.  Lola the hotel puppy immediately fell in love with Heidi and I, and followed us everywhere.  If we were in our room, then that’s exactly where she wanted to be.  I would heartily recommend Oso Perezoso, $9 a night with a freshly cooked breakfast, fruit crepes, French toast, or scrambles eggs.  The only downside was my itchy bed…I think the loving Lola may have fleas!


We did two days and four dives in Tayrona National Park, all for under $125US – wow! It was great to be under the sea again, especially with Heidi as she is a very experienced diver and I felt totally calm and safe.  We figured out she has about a month of time - 24 hours per day, 7 days a week, under the ocean’s surface, amazing!  She also has an underwater camera and was able to capture all of the amazing creatures and plant life we observed.  Pictures speak louder than words…enjoy!

  1. Incredible photos! What is the labyrinth/maze looking object in the pictures?
    I hope you got pictures of your hotel... the 5 level tree house with hammocks for sleeping sounds pretty unique! Does this mean that you are sharing the tree with the sloths and iguanas we saw in earlier posts?
