Summary

Description
English: Cienaga, Magdalena, Colombia

Circular stone terraces are one of the key features of the Teyuna "Lost City" site. Numbering over 250, most are still buried in the surrounding jungle.

Each terrace would have once held a wood and thatch hut for family, work, or ceremonial use.

These huts represent what would have been on each terrace circle. They are the same still used by the indigenous Tayronan tribes of the region, although notably, the tribes today have long lost the art of stone crafting and only terrace to a much more limited degree than at the height of their culture 500 years ago.

Archeological data suggests that Teyuna was once inhabited by 2000 people as well as being an important pilgrimage and ceremonial centre for the entire region.
