Colombia: Ciudad Perdida

 Colombia. Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Ciudad Perdida, a lost Tairona city discovered in 1972 by grave robbers who followed a stone-paved paths up to it. Archaeologists only learned about heir discovery after some of the precious content of graves started appearing on the local market. The Indians inhabiting the region had always known about the ruins. Soon after I did a photo story on those ruins for the German and French editions of Geo magazine.

Peu après, j’y ai fait un reportage photographique pour les éditions allemande et française du magazine Géo.
