El Congo or "Ciudad Antigua" (Ancient City) makes up part of one of the most important places for the Tayronas (the indigenous group that lived in the Colombian departments of Magdalena, Guajira and Cesar, in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta). This city was "Rediscovered" during an operation for eradication of illicit crops in 1983, and found in the middle of a micro-basin called El Congo.
Being surrounded by lush nature, this site is very attractive energetically, though that same creation of beauty and greenery is slowly devouring a large part of this "Ancient City". It is estimated that the city used to house approximately 5,000 people with some 800 terraces but now what is visible is less than 15 terraces with very few paths.
