Teyuna Sector – Lost City

Managed by the Instituto Colombiano de AntropologĂ­a e Historia, the Archeological Park is found within the Kogui-Malayo-Arhuaco Indigenous Reserve and inside the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta National Natural Park. The authorized access route is through the village of El Mamey (corregimiento de Guachaca), about one hour by car from Santa Marta. From El Mamey you must hike for approximately 23.3 kilometers to the Archeological Park. The last 6 kilometers are inside the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta National Natural Park. Depending on individual physical fitness levels, it takes about 3 days hiking up and 2 days coming down. Since the trail to the Lost City is not clearly demarcated and you can get easily lost, the ICANH, Parques Nacionales Naturales and the indigenous authorities demands that visitors hire a trail guide.
