Colombian National Parks are much more hands on. They push you towards using a guide and the trails are often set up to provide work opportunities for the local. They do not publish trails and they will tell you how dangerous is. This is not particularly true but if you go along you'll be mildly breaking social convention. Be generous with the vendors and other folks you encounter.
There are also closures February 1-15, June 1-15, and October 19-November 2 for religious events of local indigenous peoples.
There is a fee to enter the park and an extra fee for all non-Colombian citizens. You'll also need your passport to enter the park (Colombians love see your passport. Keep it (or at least a picture) with you.)

The first 1/2 mile of the trail heads along the dirt road After a little over a mile, this trail connects up with a drainage and then creek that makes it's way to the ocean. Sometimes you are going along the creek bed sometimes weaving along one side or the other.

Some animal in the park include Cotton-top tamarin, Howler monkey, White-faced capuchin monkey, Agouti, Sloth, Armadillo, Blue-headed parrot, White-bellied antbird, Crimson-backed tanager, and Red-legged honeycreeper.
