Last updated: 2026-09-22

Sweet spot: January, February, March. Computed from NASA POWER climate normals across the route's overnight towns, balancing temperature, rainfall and daylight.

💡 Good to know

Reviewed drier-season window outside Tayrona’s published February closure; live park, road, heat, rain, capacity and safety checks still govern.
Outside the reviewed baseline because Tayrona closure periods, heavier rain, heat or transitional park and road conditions need a separate assessment.
