Latest Taganga hotel reviews
Helpfulness
Luggage and bags: This town is the domain of the backpacker and being without one felt a bit odd for us but when day tripping one of the great advantages is NOT having to carry it, especially by mini-bus!
Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: It was warm so we wore our sandals but must say it would have been nice to have our hiking boots for the trail to Playa Grande though not necessary. Most people are barefoot but this is a barefoot kinda town.
Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sunblock is a must in sunny Tanganga.
Photo Equipment: A wide angle lens is great for capturing the entire horseshoe-shaped bay that makes Taganga one scenic spot. A zoom comes in handy for getting shots "up coast" of thatched huts and boats.
Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Our camping gear was left back in Santa Marta but if it is allowed to camp at Playa Grande it would certainly come in handy.
Miscellaneous: Thanks to my wife D for sharing another backpacker trip with me. Very happy her tummy got better in time to enjoy the baguette sandwich and she agreed that Taganga was a day trip and would rather stay in Santa Marta. Hey, I guess married the right one. :)

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Toiletries and alcohol are much more expensive on the coast than in Bogota, so you may want to stock up if you plan on being up there for a while.
