Wiwa Tour | Lost City Colombia, Santa Marta

On this tour, we will be accompanied by indigenous guides and face a demanding Trek for adventurers or athletes who enjoy long walks on trails. The Lost City (Teyuna) has been compared to the ruins of Machu Pichu, for being a city built by indigenous people before the conquest (that is to say, it is a pre-Hispanic work), but it is worth to bear in mind that the architecture of The Lost City has not been restored, and its terraces, roads and architecture are as they were during the passing of several centuries. We are the first indigenous travel agency which operates the Sierra Nevada from Santa Marta and the Lost City with indigenous guides from the area. The project was developed jointly by the traditional authorities and the WIWA and KEMAKUMAKE KUDZHESHI foundations in 2008 as part of a management for the control and management of tourism within the indigenous territories of the area, that is why Wiwa Tours is the only one company that has the endorsement of the traditional authorities of the area to work with local indigenous guides, an agency that creates work teams ranging from logistics, cooks, muleteers, guides, vendors, drivers and the administrative part. Currently, Wiwa Tours works directly with more than fifty (50) indigenous families in the area, throughout the year so that travelers have a magical experience in our different tourist destinations. The word Wiwa comes from the Dʉmʉna language, which is the language of the Wiwa People, is a compound word, which means community of the lower area of the Sierra Nevada. WI means “warm weather”, “warm zone” and WA means people. Therefore, Wiwa Tours is the tourist agency that offers services related to the Wiwa community of Sierra Nevada, using a unique way of making sustainable tourism, a local and community tourism which supports local processes with the Wiwa Foundation and Kemakumake.
