The Shakespeare Hospice - Trek to the Lost City

Event details

  • Date: 17 - 26 September 2027
  • Location: Columbia

Discover the Lost City of Teyuna, Columbia.

The Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains, declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1979, run through Colombia and end close to the Caribbean Sea on the north coast. They are cloaked in dense tropical rainforest, which hides the ruins of Teyuna, dating back some 1,500 years, and more famously known as the Lost City.

To reach the 1200 ancient stone steps that lead up to the city, we trek on steep, sometimes overgrown and muddy trails, through lush jungle and river valleys, crossing clear streams.

After time to explore the uncrowded ruins and marvel at what would have been here in years gone by, we return and head to historic Cartagena, with a stunning Caribbean backdrop, this is a tough trek full of natural beauty and cultural discovery, and is guaranteed to be a trip of a lifetime.
