An ancient archaeological site in Colombia's Sierra Nevada, known as the "Lost City," built by the Tairona people around 800 CE.
Tips from the community
Deep in the jungles of the Sierra Nevada lies Ciudad Perdida, or as said like a gringo, The Lost City. This archaeological site looks like a fusion between Machu Picchu and Jurassic Park, with a deeply secluded, jungle-shrouded location that can only be hiked to over the course of 4-6 days. You won’t find any busses to the top here. Ancient, moss-covered rock platforms have been forgotten by time, taken over by the biodiverse surroundings. The only sounds you’ll hear are birds, wind, and bugs. Most guides for the experience are indigenous locals, allowing for trekkers to learn about cultures and traditions of different groups that occupy the Sierra Nevada. Please, bring bug spray.
