Also known as Teyuna or Buritaca-200<\/strong>, Lost City<\/strong> is an ancient pre-Hispanic city built by the Tayrona culture around the 8th century. Hidden between mountains and jungle, it was rediscovered in 1976 and is today one of the most important archaeological sites in Latin America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Located between the 900 and 1,200 meters of altitude<\/strong> in the Buritaca river basin, is accessible only on foot. That is why it is compared to Machu Picchu<\/strong>but with the advantage of being less touristy, more wild and deeply spiritual<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
