La Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta – Things to Do

Nature, culture & unforgettable experiences

Finca Cuipo is located about 50 km (31 miles) from Santa Marta, at the foot of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, one of Colombia’s most biodiverse regions. From jungle trails to pristine beaches, this unique area offers an incredible variety of experiences—both adventurous and deeply restorative.

Whether you’re here to explore or simply slow down, we are happy to help you organize activities before or during your stay.

The Lost City Trek (Ciudad Perdida)

The Lost City Trek is one of Colombia’s most iconic multi-day hikes, leading you through dense jungle, indigenous villages, and ancient stone paths to the archaeological site of Ciudad Perdida, hidden deep in the Sierra Nevada.

Many of our guests choose to do the trek before relaxing at Finca Cuipo—the perfect way to unwind after the adventure.

We collaborate with trusted local operators and are happy to:

  • Advise you on the best logistics

  • Help organize transport to and from the trek

  • Ensure your booking is made smoothly

📌 When you book the Lost City Trek through Finca Cuipo, you directly support our small reforestation project.
