Kata Tjuta, also known as the Olgas, holds significant cultural and spiritual importance for the Anangu people, the traditional custodians of the land. There are various taboos associated with the site, particularly regarding the sacred sites and stories tied to the landscape. Visitors are often encouraged to respect these customs by avoiding certain areas and refraining from taking photographs in sacred locations, as doing so may disturb the cultural sanctity of the site.
