About this site
Barritas de Gairaca lies along the Caribbean coastline of Magdalena department in Colombia, near Gairaca bay within the Tayrona region east of Santa Marta. This stretch of coast is characterized by rocky points and small coves backed by the dry forested hills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. The site is a reef dive rated advanced, a grading likely tied to the exposed, current-prone nature of this part of the Tayrona coastline.
