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.

Join me in Ecuador this year and learn to shoot photos like these.
You'll find it very affordable

Colombie. Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Ciudad Perdida, une ville Tairona oubliée, découverte en 1972 par des pilleurs de tombeaux qui y arrivèrent en suivant un chemin pavé de dalles de pierre qui les y conduisit. Les archéologues apprirent la découverte seulement après que le précieux contenu des tombes apparut sur le marché. Peu après, j’y ai fait un reportage photographique pour les éditions allemande et française du magazine Géo.
