The Lost City of Colombia and the Caribbean Coast

Reserve for just £200 payable on RSVP

Deep in the heart of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta Mountains lies the prehispanic Jewel of the Lost City, “Teyuna” This magical UNESCO city originally inhabited by the Tayrona people, was an ancient cultural centre with more than 200 structures, roads, stairs, canals, houses, plazas and ceremonial buildings and was inhabited for several centuries before the arrival of the Spanish Conquistadors.

Our trip starts in the romantic Caribbean coastal town of Santa Marta the oldest city in Colombia, fringed by beautiful beaches and colourful villas.
We take a 4×4 and drive to the trailhead at Mamey where this terrific journey takes us on an adventure through some of the most biodiverse jungles on planet Earth.

The indigenous guides lead us along ancient trails through dense forests, full of monkeys, wild orchids, and thousands of types of trees, we will see many colourful birds including parrots and toucans we cross rivers, pass waterfalls, climb ancient hidden mossy steps and swim in crystal clear rivers, warmed by the midday sun before arriving at the Lost City.

Trekking through this magical place full of relics the guides will recite ancestral stories and tell us the history of “Teyuna”, before returning to the path and our descent to Mamey for a well-deserved beer. We return to Santa Marta to relax and explore the Tayrona national park with some of the best beaches in South America, before returning home.
