It is the archaeological territory of an ancient Tayrona city located in the Sierra Nevada whose foundation is attributed to the year 800, many years before Machu Picchu.

Tayrona paradise is made up of a series of terraces dug into the mountainside made up of a network of tiled paths and small circular squares.

Access to Ciudad Perdida is made by ascending some 1,200 stone steps through the vast jungle of the region.
