  • Hazard

    Strong currents at the beach

    1 Jan – 31 DecRip currents & big surf

    Palomino ranks among the most dangerous beaches on the Colombian Caribbean: the river mouth makes whirlpools and rips, and tourists drown here most years. Swim only where locals do, and never near the river outflow. Source ↗

  • Season

    Dry season

    15 Dec – 15 Apr · usuallyCrowded

    Clear early mornings are when the snow peaks of the Sierra Nevada show from the bridge over the river. The river runs lower and gentler, which makes the tubing float slower and calmer.

  • Holiday

    Christmas and New Year peak

    20 Dec – 15 JanChristmas & New YearCrowdedBook early

    The village's hostels and eco-lodges fill for the holiday fortnight, the busiest weeks of the year. River tubing groups leave in convoys and rooms need booking well ahead. Source ↗
