rediscovered and subsequently robbed in the 1970’s, this Tyrona indian sacred city in Colombia's Sierra Nevada range, does not compare to Angkor Wat, Cambodia, but the 7 day trek to it was great. besides the walk in the rain forest, i saw the making of the Colombian marching powder and the indigenous Cogi tribes.
