Trek to Ciudad Perdida (Lost City) in Colombia

“What really stood out for me was how bonding the experience was – everyone in our group of twelve was lovely, and at times, particularly in the evening with a cold beer in hand, it felt like one big happy family. It really is a special experience to share with other people. I’m not an experienced hiker so I found the physical elements challenging but still do-able if I took the time I needed and remained positive about the trekking ahead. At the start of the first day, our guide and translator discussed my evident concerns with me and really put me at ease. Our guide’s words were approximately, “If a tiger hunts us, he’ll get us both,” which essentially meant that he’d be at the back of the group with me no matter the circumstances. Though morbid, this really helped me to get over my worries regarding the speed and complexity of the trek, and I felt like the guides really wanted me to have a good experience.”

“As we set off, we soon realized this was also the most fun and challenging trail of the trek. We were clinging on to the side of the mountains at times and hoisting ourselves up over big rocks.”
