If you're staying more than a day or so in Taganga, you'll quickly become aquainted with some of the village's more 'colourful' characters. Among these is a small, youngish chap who unfortunately seems to have a memory span of roughly five minutes. He'll ask you for money for 'water', shuffle off, and then ask you the same thing again just minutes later. What he lacks in memory skills, however, he makes up for in tree-climbing ability. Ask him for 'coco', and this guy will happily scale up the nearest palm tree, stuffing coconuts into his shirt and returning to drop them at your feet. What he charges tends to vary from day to day, but the going rate during my visit was around 500 pesos per coco, less if you buy in 'bulk'! You can even specify if you want a young coconut for drinking, or a mature one with flesh for eating. You might want to open it yourself though - his method of smashing it on the ground often means you lose half the water before you get to drink a sip!
