Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Don Diego?
The best area to stay in Don Diego is along the main road leading to the Tayrona National Park entrance, particularly around the area known as "El Zaino."

This area is the primary access point for exploring Tayrona National Park, offering a range of accommodation options from eco-lodges to guesthouses. It's characterised by its lush, tropical surroundings and proximity to the park's entrance, making it incredibly convenient for early morning park visits. You'll find a selection of local eateries and small shops suiting travellers.

For couples and eco-conscious travellers, staying near El Zaino is ideal. Many lodges here offer a tranquil setting, often located in nature with views of the surrounding jungle. It's great for those who want to wake up close to the park and enjoy immediate access to its hiking trails and stunning beaches without a long commute.

For those prioritising direct beach access and a more secluded experience, some unique accommodations are located further along the coast towards the park's periphery. These often involve a short walk or boat ride to reach but offer an unparalleled connection to the Caribbean Sea.
