Let’s learn a little about the history of the Lost City Santa Marta.
The Lost City of Santa Marta is a place whose origin dates back more than 1,400 years. It was inhabited by the Tayrona culture, a pre-Columbian people from the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta region.
The city was built on top of a mountain, which allowed its inhabitants to have a panoramic view of the surrounding territory and protect themselves from possible enemies.
For centuries, the city remained hidden and unknown to the outside world. It was rediscovered in 1972 by a group of explorers and since then, it has been the subject of study by archaeologists and history experts.
The Lost City of Santa Marta is an impressive place, with its houses, squares, and stairs built with stone and mud, which show the skill and ingenuity of the ancient inhabitants of the region.
Similarly, Teyuna covers an approximate of 35 hectares and archaeological data have been identified, which assured that a significant percentage of the Tayrona inhabited it.
