Highlights
Its name is related to the stones with which its terraces were raised and some rock carvings that have been found. These seem to tell a story to those who visit this place, as if they were speaking to us. Bunkuany, the "place of the stones that speak". Although the archaeological complex of Bunkuany is less extensive than that of Ciudad Perdida, it has quite large terraces and, as happens with Ciudad Perdida or Teyuna, "The second Lost City" has several streams and rivers nearby, which makes to enjoy a refreshing swim while doing the Bunkuany tour.

About Santa Marta
Santa Marta is Colombia's oldest surviving colonial city, a Caribbean port below the Sierra Nevada and close to Tayrona Park and the Lost City trail.
Founded by the Spaniards in 1525, Santa Marta is the oldest surviving colonial city in Colombia, set on a bay where the Sierra Nevada, the highest coastal mountain range on earth, drops almost to the sea. Simón Bolívar died in 1830 at the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino, a hacienda just outside the centre, now a museum with botanical gardens. The old town has a cathedral, a seafront promenade and a gold museum in a colonial house.
Top-ranked sights in Santa Marta: Lost City (Ciudad Perdida), Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta National Park, Tayrona National Park (Parque Nacional Natural Tayrona).
