The lost city in Colombia
The 7 wonders of Colombia were named in 2007 when, through a contest organized and sponsored by the newspaper El Tiempo, the best wonders of the country were chosen through voting.

These 7 wonders have been recognized for their beauty, architecture, and history. Now, let’s talk about one of the most beautiful wonders of Colombia for its nature and history – the Lost City in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
The Lost City, a wonder surrounded by flora and fauna.
The Lost City in Colombia is one of the biggest tourist attractions in the country.
This ancient wonder is located over 1,200 meters above sea level, surrounded by tropical jungle and offers impressive views of the Andes of the Sierra Nevada.
The remains of the city date back to pre-Hispanic times and are believed to have been built by the ancient Tayrona people.
