2-Day Alternative Lost City Trek

Embark on a 2-day trek through the breathtaking landscapes of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, leading to the ancient ruins of Bunkuany, also known as the "Alternative Lost City." This trek is perfect for those who want to experience the magic of an ancient civilization, immerse themselves in local indigenous culture, and challenge themselves with a rewarding hike—all within a shorter timeframe.

What Makes This Trek Unique?

Unlike our 3-day version, this trek does not include the visit to the Kogui village, making it ideal for travelers who prefer a faster-paced journey that still includes stunning nature, cultural insights, and an unforgettable visit to Bunkuany. The adventure ends on the second day after reaching the ruins, allowing you to return to Santa Marta by evening.

✅ Round-trip transportation from Santa Marta
