The only way to get to the Teyuna Ciudad Perdida Archaeological Park is by walking for 4 days and three nights for 8 hours a day. The tour is ascending mountains where you will also have to cross rivers, climb slopes, cross bridges, climb stones the size of a house and climb a staircase with 1200 steps. The return can be done in one day since it is only downhill.
Because it is a protected area, you can only enter it by hiring one of the 5 authorized agencies and their guides are the ones who accompany you during the tour. From Santa Marta, you can contact them and they sell you a tour that includes transportation for the round trip to Santa Marta, accommodation, food, a guided tour, and the value of the contribution that must be made to the ecological reserve for its conservation.< /p>
What to do in Lost City Colombia
More than highlighting the things to do in the Archaeological Park is highlighting the natural wonders that you can observe during the long walk to the Lost City. The 4 days of trekking will have been worth it when you start to see incredible sunrises, majestic waterfalls, and virgin jungle landscapes.
Once you arrive at the ancient indigenous civilization, also known by locals as Teyuna Colombia, you will find:
- An impressive staircase with 1,200 steps
- Cobbled paths
- 211 ancient terraces built by the Tayronas.
- Large outdoor terraces
- Rings in stone
There is also a village surrounded by almost intact vegetation. Kogui and Wiwa families live in them with their children, both are indigenous ethnic groups and are descendants of the Tayrona.
Recommendations for going to the Lost City
Since you will have to make an expedition through this majestic and incredible place for several days, we recommend you be in the good physical condition and that your backpack is not heavy since most of the journey is going up the mountain. Try to go with sportswear for the day, with shoes with good grip and warm clothes for the cold at night. Finally, take your thermos for water, repellent, and cash.
