Vaccinations for Parque Tayrona...

thur says on Nov 30, 2007, 09:35:

No vaccinations and generally no visa required to enter Colombia.
However:
A vaccination against Yellow Fever is indispensable if your travel plans include one of the following destinations: Tayrona National Park, Ciudad Perdida (the Lost City) or Leticia/ Amazon Basin. According to government regulations you will have to provide evidence of vaccination 10 days before traveling to these areas. ( www.deunacolombia.com ).

Yes, but if you are not a native I would drink bottled water and watch what I eat ie. no food from sidewalk or beach vendors.

Yellow fever is a virus that is transmitted by mosquitos and is not food borne. I am traveling to Tayrona as well as Margarita Island, Venezulua in Febero. In Venezulua certificate is not needed if traveling to either Margarita or Caracas.
Of course drinking bottled water for travelers I believe is a must

I have never seen a beach or street vendor bite anyone, close several time but never broke the skin.
