Casa Playa on Los Naranjos beach… there’s nothing wrong with treating yourself every now & then (or 2 wks into your trip)

I was a bit indecisive when it came to choosing lodging for my Parque Tayrona visit. I tried a couple spots but they were shockingly booked up. Meanwhile, I had been emailing w this dude for a couple weeks… at first regarding availability about one of his properties (booked) & then regarding my questions on Tayrona. He was pitching me a room in another property that was more than I wanted to spend, but I found him to be helpful as he offered to buy my Tayrona ticket & coordinate the taxi. So I decided to splurge a bit on a room in Casa Playa, only a 10-min drive E from Tayrona right on the beach near where a river intersects the sea. I had the bus drop me at the drive & found the lovely casa w it’s private pool perched atop a bluff directly overlooking the sea to the front & the river to the rear, flanked by crazy ridiculous beaches & equipped w a house man Benedicto. Best part? I was the only one to rent a room so not only did I get the best room but I had the whole place to myself which was perfect after an exhausting day at Tayrona. Only downside? The house was so close to the sea, the waves crashing below were pretty darn loud at night. I can’t even type that with a straight face. No the downside is I only had 3 days / 2 nights here.

Beach 2 (& the river). As I was going to Tayrona, I asked the driver what beach was her favorite (intending of Tayrona’s beaches) & she indicated Naranjos was her fave… the one I’m staying on.

Yes there are crocodillos in the river & I was told to look out for them. This skinny little path is right by the river & the path to the beach so I’d walk pretty quickly & keep an eye out.
