Lost City: Tayrona Archaeological Treasure
Ancestral History Ciudad Perdida is a pre-Columbian archaeological site in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, Colombia. Its history dates back to the Tayrona, an ancient culture that lived there from the 6th to the 16th century, long before Machu Picchu.
Tayrona Paradise Terraces and paths in the mountains create the Tayrona paradise. Accessing Ciudad Perdida involves climbing 1200 stone steps through the jungle.
Jungle Adventure If you love adventure and are in good shape, you will enjoy this experience. Hikes of up to 6 hours a day await you in this adventure and archaeological tourism destination.
History and Abandonment The city had terraces and stone buildings for housing and ceremonies. It is still not known why it was abandoned, but factors such as conflicts and diseases may have contributed. The arrival of the conquistadors marked its decline.
Rediscovery and Preservation Ciudad Perdida was forgotten for centuries. In the 1970s, looters discovered it. Colombian authorities and archaeologists studied and preserved it.
A Window to the Past Today, Ciudad Perdida reminds us of the cultural diversity of America before the Europeans. Its rediscovery connects us to a past buried in the Colombian jungle. Exploring it offers a unique view of the Tayrona culture and its structures.
