Taganga was by far our favorite spot in Colombia, mainly for all the things there is to do there (I joke). We dived every morning for 6 days, had lunch and passed the afternoons at the beach. Such a busy day. We were in fact so busy that we stayed 12 days.
We wandered Taganga on our daily routines, getting to know the people in the community, eating at our favorite restauraunts and drinking a minimum of 1 fresh fruit juice a day. Our airy hotel room overlooked the village and the football field that was it´s pumping heart.
Our diving expereince was exceptional. We chose a small dive shop called Vida Marina to do both our open water and advanced Padi certifications. The dive masters were professional and all but 1 is a marine biologist. Our instructors made us feel safe, comfortable and made sure we had fun in the water. By the end of 6 days we had done 12 dives, including a dive at 110 feet, a shipwreck dive and a night dive.
We loved Taganga. The laid back vibe and sense of community we felt there was relaxing. We made new friends, had a couple good parties, a few filet mignons and left fat, well rested and happy.
Taganga is:
The stillness of the bay, with the sun shining down showing off it´s brilliant blues.
The soft sway of fishing boats at the edges of lapping waters.
Sounds of Colombian music mixed with the sweet smell of salt.
Finally, we forced ourselves to move on and spent 2 days in the Parque National Tayrona, this time on the beaches. Diving, we had already been exploring the reefs of the national park. In the park we slept in hammocks and swam in blue waters.
Now it was time to head south.
