On the third day you will walk up striking trails to reach the 1,200-step staircase to the destination, a trail constructed by Tayrona community to get to the Lost City. Once you arrive, there will be several circular platforms, which are the last remnants of the homes inhabited by the Tayrona people thousands of years ago. Finish the fourth day by going back to El Mamey and then to your hotel.

The Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta is the highest coastal mountain in the world with snowcapped summits. It is the ancestral territory for the Kogi, Arhuaco, Kankuamo and Wiwa native communities. Deep in its forest, the Lost City can be found. This place was so well hidden that although it is almost 400 years it was recently found in the 20th century.
