O atrakciji

Brze činjenice: More than 600 gold and ceramic pieces tell the story of the Tayrona people who lived in the Sierra Nevada. Some objects are over 1,500 years old and bear witness to a complex system of cosmological and spiritual beliefs.

Istaknuto: The museum displays the "Poporo Quimbaya," a 220-gram gold piece used to hold lime during sacred rituals. The rooms are arranged in a circle to recreate the Tayrona cosmic vision, where each direction corresponds to a different natural element.

Insajderski savjeti

Wear quiet shoes: the wooden floor creaks less and you will better enjoy the hushed atmosphere of the dark rooms.
The second floor houses a collection of textiles that is still too little known, do not leave before seeing it.
Avoid visiting between 12pm and 2pm when school groups pour in and the air conditioning struggles to keep up.
The outdoor garden with its modern sculptures is free and offers a superb photo spot at golden hour.
