It is the archaeological territory of an ancient Tayrona city located in the Sierra Nevada whose foundation is attributed to the year 800, many years before Machu Picchu.

The Tayrona paradise is made up of a series of terraces dug into the mountainside made up of a network of tiled paths and small circular plazas.
