Lost City Teyuna – History of the site

In 1976 a Colombian government expedition guided, among others, by Franky Rey, an expert guide of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, reached Lost City Teyuna  starting from the city of Santa Marta, Magdalena, northern Colombia, just in time to save the archaelogical site from complete destruction due to the raids of the tombraiders.

Between 1972 and 1982, the government began to finance recovery, restoration and research on the site, apart from promoting the impressive Teyuna, which started to be called Lost City Teyuna (Ciudad Perdida Teyuna).
In 1984 guided tours started, since the tourists began to be aware of the existence of this incredible place.

The first guide of these tours to Lost City Teyuna was Mr. Franky Rey, from Santa Marta, who could count on the help of his son Edwin Rey,  Omar Triviño, Wilmer Piedrahita and others: today, they are part of our staff.

Turcol – Ecotourism at its best

Turcol is a tour operator based in Santa Marta, Colombia. Being born in 1992, it is one of the pioneers in ecotourism, tours, ecologic walks and hikes in Colombia.

Turcol, tours and much more! Social and environmental commitment are our priorities: through our walks and hikes, in fact, we contribute to the development of the native and farming communities of the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, Colombia. In our hikes, ecotourism is not only a word: we work (and walk) hard in rubbish collection and awareness campaigns in order to preserve the wonderful landscapes of the region of Santa Marta.

Our core tour is the hike to the Lost City, in the middle of the mountains, between the snow peaks and the Caribbean sea, northern Colombia.

Something more than a simple tour, a life experience. Not far from Santa Marta, a whole different world is waiting for you: let our expert guides drive you into the wild and wonderful Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta, walk with us.

Turcol is a synonym for Lost City hikes, but not only: Tayrona park, Minca, Buritaca, La Guajira and many other ecotouristic sites to walk, to see, to live.

Turcol, Turismo Colombiano: ecotourism at its best!
