PODCAST NUMBER THREE

Hi everyone! My name is Angie and we had been talking about the best places to enjoy tropical music in Chicago. But today I want to change a little bit the topic and even when I’ll talk about the tropical places this time will be about a place where you can feel how the tropic is.

I want to talk today about “Parque Tayrona” or “Tayrona National Park”.

This is a park that is located in the Atlantic cost in Colombia, close to the Santa Marta City. Some websites call this place: “where the Nature and Archaeology meet” Because, prior the Spanish invasion, that place was home of a native people (Tayrona indigenous) who had left many evidences of their life and traditions around the park.

This park is considered one of the most beautiful costs in South America because you can enjoy lovely beaches but at the same time this park has a mountain with rain forest. It means that you can see in the same park the desert or a rain forest. Even on the top of mountain (Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta) you can find snow that stay there for the whole year.

Tayrona is a famous place not only for the beaches. Also, you can see the wildlife on the rain forest or in the sea. So if you like Eco-tourism this is the place for you because when you’re inside the park you can find a lot of sidewalks to go to different places depends what you would like to do. If you like the Archaeology you’d visit “Ciudad Perdida” because is there where you can find the evidence of the city that was built by the ancient indigenous people.

One of the interesting points in this park is that you’ll find camping areas with facilities like showers and Toilets. Another option is hammocks with mosquito net for a really good price. You’ll find conventional rooms. But in my opinion I you go there you need to try how feels to do a camping on the beach and unless for once sleep in a hammocks.

The food there is a traditional Caribbean food. Many plates will include fish, so you can enjoy the local preparation and different kinds of fish. You’ll find natural juices from different local fruits.

Anyways this place is kind of a paradise. You need to see it with your own eyes and I promise you won’t regret and you won’t believe it. Because I can describe many things but it never will be close to how you’ll feel when you’re there.

Ok guys, I hope you like this podcast. I would like to see your reviews about this place. Thanks, good bye.
