| CIUDAD TEYUNA | Cradle of the Teyuna culture (Tayrona) - Schedule your private group on any date (from 6 prs)

Lost City, Teyuna or Buritaca-200 is an ancient indigenous settlement and archaeological site. It was built around the VII or VIII century of our era, being today one of the more than 250 ancient settlements of the four indigenous groups found on the north and southwest face of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, in the department of Magdalena in northern Colombia. For the indigenous communities, descendants of the Tayronas who are the Koguis, Arhuakos, Wiwas and Kankuamos, this place Teizhuna (Teyuna) is one of the sacred places of the indigenous people within the ancestral territories.

In this place are written the commandments of man to continue with the balance of the indigenous peoples of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
