Lost City (Teyuna) is an ancient ceremonial, political and religious center of the Tayrona civilization, hidden among the mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. For any nature lover visiting Colombia, this destination is a must-see.
From cities like Santa Marta, Cartagena, Bogotá and MedellÃn, you can reach Ciudad Perdida. However, access is exclusively through organized tours, which usually last 4 or 5 days, covering around 60 kilometers of walking. These tours include transfers, lodging, food, entry permits and local guides.
The walk begins from Santa Marta, taking you by 4×4 vehicle to El Mamey. From there, you walk around 8 kilometers to Camp 1, passing through impressive landscapes and enjoying the lush vegetation of the Sierra Nevada.
The second day involves a walk of approximately 15.5 kilometers until you reach ParaÃso Teyuna. This section includes a visit to Casa Wiwa and the Mutanzi indigenous people, offering you a unique experience of contact with the local culture.
At the end of the day, we will be 2 km from Lost City (Teyuna).
The third day is the most exciting, as you will visit the legendary Lost City. After ascending the 1,260 steps that lead to the archaeological park, you will have time to explore its structures and immerse yourself in its history before returning to Cabaña Mumake.
The last day involves the return to Santa Marta, completing about 16 kilometers of walking. After enjoying a farewell lunch at El Mamey, you will be transferred back to Santa Marta, where you can reflect on the incredible adventure you have experienced.
