Traveler Advice Types:
Safety, taganga

By Lorraine Caputo

All told, Taganga is a pretty safe place to hang out. Nevertheless, locals warn to be careful walking to Playa Grande and other beaches, and of leaving your things alone on the sands, due to the possibility of robberies. On the in-town beach, beware of glass and the steep drop just off-shore.

 

Since 2006 a number of travelers have reported contracting dengue in this area; it remains unclear whether the contagion zone is Taganga or Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona. Take proper precautions in both areas. Tap water is not safe to drink without trratment.

 

When La Loca comes calling, seas become rough and small-craft advisories are issued. Keep this in mind when planning boating expeditions.
