Our Wiwa guide's name was Celso, meaning "to bring order from disorder." Under his watch, we made our way to the Lost City. When we arrived at the site, he gathered us around to tell the story. He let his hair down, uncut hair that represents the wisdom that flows from the sacred snow-covered peaks of the Sierra Nevada mountains through rivers to the coast. Before a moment of silence, he offered this as the place to let go of our impurities, our negative thoughts and emotions. May we all find that place from time to time.
Overlooking the upper chambers of Teyuna (The Lost City), Colombia -- at 1300m (4265 ft) on a mountain ridge in the Sierra Nevada range. It's believed that this capital of the Tayrona civilization was built in 800A.D., pre-dating Machu Picchu by 600 years. It's estimated that the visible excavated portions of the site, including 169 stone terraces, might only account for 10% of what's actually underneath.
