In the search to create, develop, plan, project, research, and protect the area with conservation and preservation plans, settlement of inter-institutional cooperation no. 008 was established between national parks (PNN) and the Colombian Institute of Anthropology and History (ICANH); this Indigenous management plan model allows Colombian Sierra Nevada and the Indigenous populations to receive environmental, regional, and international benefits. PNN has developed ecotourism strategies to preserve natural resources in accordance with the "parques con la gente" (parks with the people) policy for active social interaction. Nowadays, this has allowed for the inclusion of larger committees such as the Department of Commerce, Industry and Tourism, PNN, and the Indigenous reservation Kogui-Malayo-Arhuaco, in which they study the tourist occupancy in Teyuna "Ciudad Perdida," does not negatively impact any environmental and cultural aspect. Indigenous communities play an active role in decision-making about the territory due to the historical and ancestral value of preserving their past heritage.<ref name=":2" /><ref>{{Cite journal |last=Pardo |first=Luis |date=2012 |title=Teyuna, la ciudad perdida de los tayrona: entre la conservacion y la concertacion |url=https://repositorio.uniandes.edu.co/server/api/core/bitstreams/69b39d59-5d5f-4353-a4a7-152f06a0b5a1/content |journal=Observatorio del Patrimonio Cultural y Arqueologico OPCA |volume=Boletin 4}}</ref>

In 2005, tourist hikes became operational again and there have been no problems since then. The [[Colombian Army]] actively patrols the area, which is now deemed to be safe for visitors, and there have not been any more kidnappings.

Since 2009, the non-profit organization [[Global Heritage Fund]] (GHF) has been working in Ciudad Perdida to preserve and protect the historic site against [[climate]], [[vegetation]], [[neglect]], [[looting]], and [[Sustainable tourism|unsustainable tourism]]. GHF's stated goals include the development and implementation of a regional management plan, documentation and conservation of the archaeological features at Ciudad Perdida, and engagement of the local indigenous communities as major stakeholders in the preservation and sustainable development of the site.
