Overview

This world renowned trek will take you deep into the mystical jungle-laden mountains of the sacred Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Here you will discover one of the world’s most important archaeological ruins - The Lost City or Ciudad Perdida as it is known locally.


The site was abandoned by the Tayronas some 350 years ago not long after the arrival of the Spanish. Giant stone structures and staircases, jungle paths, stunning waterfalls and amazing natural pools, all amidst a towering green mountain landscape are just some of the highlights of this adventure. Most important however is the cultural context that you will experience, passing through indigenous settlements of the people that now inhabit the Sierra, among them the Kogis who are direct descendants of the Tayronas.
