The Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta is an independent bulk of the Andean system that rises from the sea to 5,775 meters of height, constitutes a unique ecosystem in the world, is this one the scene where this one located Teyuna, in the indigenous language and Buritaca 200, between the archaeologists and commonly Lost City.

Lost city is a magnificent sample of an urban location tayrona in the sources Buritaca, to l.200 meters of height s.n.m. There the Colombian archaeologists have rescued to the forest by the end of setentas two hundreds of the original terraces, the streets and ways, the systems of aqueduct and sewage system of one of the many pre-Columbian cities of the Mountain range, remarkably spectacular by the landscape and morphology of the land.

This it is a program that take three days of ascent and two of reduction, like minimum, including one night in center archaeological. To duer itself to me in campings of step, peasants and Straits (he swings and sleeping-bag) and he is subject to a very rudimentary feeding provided by the own guide. One is due to go well provided with protection against the insects and with light supplies. There are two main ways to arrive at the city:

The favourite by experienced and the one that our company uses, that raises by the margin of the Guachaca river, crossing the region of the Mamey (where it arrives itself in vehicle by a spoolable one very deteriorated, to two hours and average of Santa Marta). From he leaves the route of travellers there, that crosses two smallest indigenous towns Koguis: Mutanshi and Koskúnguena, this last one almost left. The end is a great stone perron with more than two thousand steps, by which it enters the ruins. In this route it has what cross a river Buritaca in several opportunities, and it supposes to precaver itself of the risk of crescents. It is one more a shorter route but of smaller landscaping and naturalistic interest

The other way also supposes a stretch in country that goes to Minca, and of there to the Tagua, by a highway in badly been. From the Tagua it leaves to one first very colorful day that crosses several zones of humid and deep forest, sometimes of fog, with ascents and reductions alternate until arriving at “Cartagena Edge”, where there is a small refuge of travellers in charge of one of the foundations dedicated to the conservation of the mountain range.

The second day is also colorful, and also with several passages on crystalline rivers of great beauty, but much more difficult; it finishes in “Stop of Sight”, another station equipped for travellers, on the ruins of a Tayrona establishment partially excavated; the third day is a very demanding way, by difficult land (inescapably on foot), cross a river Guachaca and Buritaca.

The traveller must consider that the merit of the trip is to enjoy the same way, and it supposes to fix clear conditions to the guides, who tend to test of each day simple of effort.
