Tayrona protects a stretch of Caribbean coast where the Sierra Nevada drops to the sea, with jungle paths linking beaches and indigenous Kogi communities living inside the park. Most beaches have dangerous currents; Cabo San Juan and La Piscina are the swimmable ones. The park closes for several weeks each year at the request of indigenous authorities.
