Dive-site story
Set along the rocky headlands near Taganga and the edge of Tayrona National Natural Park, this site centers around three large granitic boulder formations resting on a sloping sandy seabed. Divers navigate through the channels between these monoliths, exploring encrusted overhangs and sheltered crevices that host Caribbean reef species. The surrounding sand flats often reveal buried rays and bottom-dwelling invertebrates.
