Visiting Lost City is a truly unforgettable experience. Embark on a multi-day trek to explore a civilization that spans billions of years. This is a rare privilege not everyone can enjoy. In Lost City, visitors have the chance to engage in spontaneous cultural exchanges with some of the over 50,000 indigenous people from the Kogi, Wiwa, Kankuamos, and Arhuacos communities. These communities are descendants of the Tayrona civilization, which once thrived in this area. Recognized as a Biosphere Reserve and World Heritage Site by UNESCO, Lost City is a treasure trove of history and culture.

It is estimated that only 10% of Lost City has been explored. Researchers believe there are many other sites, like Pueblito in Tayrona Park, that date back to this ancient civilization.
