Colombia Tourist Attractions – Cuidad Perdida – The Lost City

The mysterious lost city was hidden in the wide jungle of Colombia for more than a thousand of years. Only way to access it is by a 44 km trek. Built in 800 AD treasure hunters discovered it orginally in the 70s.

The hiking path to the lost city usually takes about five to seven hours. It includes knee deep water crossing. Then finally after walking up the 1 800 steps you will enter the “Lost City”.

As the spanish people discovered “The Lost City” everything  changed for the native people and they had to flee to a higher region of the mountain.
Later on it was discovered by tombraiders who found gold on certain places. About 5 000 to 10 000 people lived here. The city itself includes over 12 000 square meters. The recent guardians of the lost city are the Kogis. They see themselves as descendants of the Tayrona people. They call La Sierra Nevada “the heart of the world”.
