Palomino beach
Palomino beach is a tiny tropical village located on the north coast of Colombia. Since these regions are located in northern Colombia, deserted, pristine beaches consist of volcanic sand in the shade of coconut palms and bamboo shacks. The Caribbean Sea at Palomino beach is noisy and with fast waves. The entry into the water is gentle, but shallow water is 2-3 metres from the coast. The color of the water is bright turquoise with blue tides.

Beach description
Palomino beach continues to be a secret paradise - unknown and unexplored by many tourists who have been to Colombia. It is unique because of his proximity to the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, the world's highest coastal mountain range, inhabited by four ethnic tribes: the Arhuaco, Wiwa, Kogi, and Kankuamo. You can see the snowy peaks of the mountain from the Palomino beach. It is recommended to wear shoes to walk along the sea, since the sand heats up by the middle of the day, and it is impossible to stand on it with bare feet.
There are no resorts or famous hotels in Palomino, only small local hostels and beach hotels. It is also rare to meet merchants on Palomino beach. This beach is ideal for unity with nature. The unique ecosystem of this area allows you to see how Palomino River flows into the Caribbean Sea. A popular type of recreation is rafting and tubing, which originate in the river and finish an extreme walk on Palomino beach.
When is it better to go?
The best time to visit Colombia is from December to April, when the weather is relatively warm and the rains are replaced by the dry season. It should be borne in mind that the coast is always hotter than in the highlands, for example, in the capital Bogota.
