Hike to an ancient ‘lost’ city

Ciudad Perdida is the ruins of an ancient city thought to have been built by the Tairona peoples in around 800 CE, making it some 650 years older than Machu Pichu.

Set deep in the heart of the dense jungles of Tayrona National Park, near the city of Santa Marta, it is only reachable on foot and takes 4 to 6 days to complete the round trip, but makes for a truly unique and rewarding experience for the adventurous traveller. There are a number of operators who arrange group hikes to Ciudad Perdida, including Lost City Trek Colombia, who offer three different options, each differing in intensity.
