Picnicking in Tayrona National Park, Colombia

What's your favorite picnic spot around the world? @thehamperemporium recently asked me this very question. One of my top picks: Tayrona National Park in Colombia. Tayrona National Park was the highlight of my two-week Colombia trip, and if you’re into picnicking it’s a must. You can purchase your food beforehand — it’s more expensive to buy eats within it — and either hike two hours to the Cabo San Juan campsite with it in your backpack or hire a horse for about $9 (my recommendation). During the trek the scenery seems to change every 10 minutes, shifting from jungle to beach to otherworldly boulders to fields of enormous plants that look like giant clovers. You’ll scramble up rocks, climb up and down stairs, take your shoes off to walk through sea water, and sometimes find yourself overlooking immaculate white sand beaches and turquoise waters. There are many beaches to choose from, so take your pick(nic). Read my full list here: http://jessieonajourney.com/worlds-top-picnic-spots/
