Overview
The Second Lost City awaits. Bunkuany is not just trekking, it's transformation on the mountain, where ancestral archaeology and virgin nature meet.
Access to Tayrona ruins that remain less explored than Lost City. Bunkuany's terraces represent ancestral engineering without modern tools. Here you'll discover how previous civilizations built on impossible verticals. Sierra Nevada guards these secrets carefully.
Experience a two-day adventure in the mountains of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, combining nature, hiking, and ancestral culture. Visit the Piedras Donama and discover their ancient carved stones, walk along trails surrounded by natural landscapes, and enjoy a night in the heart of the mountains. The next day, explore the ancestral terraces of Bunkuany, cool off in a natural pool, and begin the journey back to Calabazo. An ideal adventure to connect with nature and discover the rich cultural and ancestral heritage of the region.
Magic Tour has operated 20+ years in Sierra Nevada with official authorization. We've led thousands of travelers to these destinations with proven safety and respect for indigenous sacred spaces. We know each trail, each terrace, each story.
You return transformed. This isn't an ordinary weekend, it's perspective that changes.

Traveler reviews
Ce trek de 2 jours à Bunkuany est une merveille absolue pour les passionnés d'histoire et de nature. Marcher à travers la forêt tropicale bercé par le chant des oiseaux, traverser des rivières cristallines et découvrir ces magnifiques terrasses en pierre précolombiennes offre une reconnexion totale avec la Terre. Magic Tour Colombia a assuré une organisation exemplaire : la nourriture au campement était délicieuse, le rythme de marche très bien pensé, et notre guide passionné nous a transmis une compréhension profonde de la culture des peuples autochtones de la Sierra Nevada.

The 2-day Bunkuany archaeological trek was an incredible highlight of my trip to Colombia. Walking through untouched rainforest paths, swimming in pristine mountain rivers, and arriving at ancient stone terraces filled with history was deeply moving. It offers a rich cultural and archaeological experience without needing the longer duration of Ciudad Perdida. Magic Tour Colombia organized everything seamlessly—our guide was deeply knowledgeable about the indigenous traditions of the Sierra Nevada, the meals at camp were delicious, and the entire trek felt safe and well-paced. A truly magical experience!

El trek de 2 días a Bunkuany es la alternativa perfecta para quienes buscan conectar con la arqueología y la cultura ancestral sin recorrer las exigencias del trek más largo de Ciudad Perdida. Caminar entre la selva tropical, descubrir las terrazas de piedra prehispánicas y nadar en pozas de agua cristalina fue una experiencia profundamente sanadora. El conocimiento de los guías de Magic Tour Colombia sobre la cosmovisión de las comunidades indígenas y la historia del territorio enriqueció cada paso. Además, la logística, la comida en el campamento y la calidez del grupo hicieron que todo fuera impecable.
