Lost City Trek - 4 days

The tour to the Lost City of Santa Marta is an experience that combines nature, hiking, and archeology in a unique natural location such as, the Colombian jungle, which is inhabited by the indigenous communities of the Sierra Nevada, and still retains its traditional lifestyle. This is a tour where you walk an average of 6 hours a day through the jungle crossing rivers, enjoying unique landscapes and taking time for yourself and to share with the rest of the group. The nights are spent in camps in the jungle where we will meet other groups and will have time to share our experiences with each other. This adventure culminates with the arrival in Ciudad Perdida (The Lost City), where you still feel the energy and mysticism of another time, since it has remained practically intact for centuries, making this tour one of the best experiences you can have in Colombia.
