Bunkuany, the new Lost City Bunkuans

Bunkuany is an alternative to the tour to Ciudad Perdida in the Sierra Nevada, its archaeological ruins of the Tayrona culture are a connection with an ancient magical territory.
For this adventure we will leave from Santa Marta in 4x4 transportation, on a journey of approximately 1 hour. We will pass by the Bonda church, Tayrona monument, to the Donama stones, a sacred site and connection of the traditional territory with codes carved in the stone.

We will continue the route for about 40 more minutes, passing the La Lisa path and the Piedra and La Lisa rivers. Once in Boquerón, we will begin our 30-minute ascent through the coffee farm to the viewpoint, where you can see Santa Marta and Tayrona Park.

After appreciating the panoramic view, we will continue our trekking for an hour and a half to the Bunkuany terraces. Upon our arrival in Bunkuany, we will rest in the ravine and reconnoitre the archaeological zone and its current meaning for the local communities. When these terraces came to light, the comparison with Ciudad Perdida was inevitable. Hence the media called it "The Second Lost City" due to its great resemblance.

We will continue our path downhill through the farms and forests of the Santa Teresa ravine until we reach the parking lot of the Hotel Madre Sierra where we will take our transportation back to Santa Marta.
