Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta

The Archaeological Park Teyuna, also known as "Lost City", home of the Tayrona people, the most monumental pre-Columbian civilization of the country, is located in this sierra.

This magnificent sierra, with its snow-covered summits, is the tallest coastal mountain in the world. It also has the two highest peaks in Colombia. At present, nearly 30.000 Indians from the Kogi, Arhuaco, Kakuamo and Wiwa cultures live here.  The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta was declared by Unesco as a Reserve of Biosphere, Man and Humankind in 1979.
