A protected coastal reserve where the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta meets the Caribbean Sea, Tayrona contains a series of sheltered beaches separated by rocky headlands and dense tropical forest. Palomino-facing trails pass through mango and cecropia forest before descending to coves with powerful surf. The interior archaeological site of Pueblito sits on a hilltop amid the jungle.
