Sooner or later every visitor to PNN Tayrona hikes to Cabo San Juan. This area is another hour or so hiking from la Piscina and probably three hours from the start of the main trails.
There are no real accommodations at Cabo San Juan, so visitors either bring their own tents and sleeping bags or rent one of the tents in tent city (see photo below). Only trails lead to Cabo so all materials and food (there are a couple of small outdoor restaurants) are brought in by pack animals (see photo below). The trail winds through different habitat, but it can be difficult at times and hot. See the additional photos of the trail below. For some reason, I did not take a photo of the iconic rock, where you can sleep if you reserve far enough in advance, but I borrowed a pic off of the internet.
