Ciudad Perdida Painting

The most irreplaceable ecosystem on the planet, the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta in Colombia, was inhabited for over a thousand years by a civilization of master goldsmiths that resisted the Spanish invasion for 100 years: the Tairona people. In 1498 the first Spaniards arrived in la Sierra in search of gold. At that time, the mountain range was densely populated and its center was Teyuna: a capital city with hundreds of houses, stone roads, stairways, cultivation terraces, plazas, ceremonial areas and a network of canals. This city was built more than 1300 years ago, 650 years before the famous Machu Picchu, and was abandoned in the 1600s. The jungle swallowed this city for 400 years, until 1975 when local guaqueros began looting the tombs of the ancient metropolis looking for buried treasures. A team of archaeologists then visited the site which they named "Lost City", although to the indigenous peoples of the Sierra it was never lost. After years of restoration, it opened as Ciudad Perdida-Teyuna Archaeological Park.
