What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Colombia
- Colombia's Caribbean Coast & Lost City
The Carribean Coast and lost City tour was fantastic! It was well organised and the CEOs and local guides were knowledgeable, personable and passionate about showing people all Colombia has to offer.
- Colombia Highlights 15 Days Tour
We took an 18-day guided tour in Colombia with GuidEcuador. Three days exploring the Caño Cristales area based out of La Macarena was our favorite part of the trip. It is spectacularly beautiful and very unique! In Bogotá, we had lots of fun on the city bike tour, and seeing the city from the top of Monserrate is not to be missed, either! Other highlights during our tour were the hike in Tayrona Park, seeing the wax palms in Cocora Valley, climbing the rock at El Peñol which provided a terrific view of the area, seeing all the colorful zocalos in Guatapé, a very informative and fun tour in Medellín, and some unique experiences getting to Cartagena that weren't planned! Colombia is a huge and very interesting country and we enjoyed the sampling! The local guides in different areas we visited were a tremendous asset. The Lost City Trek was hard for me (at age 76), but with great support from the guides and the others in our group, plus riding a mule on 2 stretches and a moto for the final descent, I made it!
- Colombia - Lost City Trekking
The lost city is a beautiful place and an absolute must for people when in Colombia, it is quite challenging so need to be healthy. There was another tour that was identical to ours using the same company but offered much cheaper (some 300 dollars) than G Adventures, so would recommend looking into using Wiwa tours and skipping out the middle man
What our customers ask about Hiking & Trekking Tours & Trips in Colombia
What are the best hiking trails in Colombia for various skill levels?
Colombia's hiking trails range from leisurely walks to challenging mountain expeditions. The Lost City Trek through Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta takes 4-5 days through jungle paths with moderate difficulty. Los Nevados National Park tests hikers with high-altitude routes that reach 5220m at Nevado de Tolima. Near Salento the Cocora Valley welcomes beginners with scenic day trails winding through distinctive wax palm forests. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The hiking routes were perfectly balanced for all experience levels from the gentle Cocora Valley walks to the more challenging Lost City Trek."
What is the best time of year for hiking in Colombia's different regions?
Each Colombian region has its prime hiking season. The Lost City Trek sees ideal conditions from December to March with dry but dusty trails. El Cocuy National Park welcomes hikers during the dry season from December to February offering clear views and accessible paths. Along the Caribbean coast including Tayrona National Park December through April provides the best hiking weather. TourRadar travelers note that "during rainy season (April-November) river crossings can be waist-high and trails muddy so proper gear is essential." The Lost City Trek closes annually in September for maintenance.
What cultural experiences can I expect on Colombian hiking tours?
Hiking tours in Colombia connect travelers with local communities and traditions. The Lost City Trek includes stops at Mutanzi village where visitors meet Kogi and Wiwa communities. El Cocuy introduces hikers to Andean culture and farming practices. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The indigenous guides Jose and Javier were both amazing giving a much more intimate tour than we would have otherwise." Tours often feature visits to archaeological sites local markets and demonstrations of traditional customs.
What kind of accommodation can I expect during multi-day treks in Colombia?
Accommodation on Colombian treks ranges from simple camps to upscale eco-lodges. The Lost City Trek provides hammocks or basic bunks at locations like Camp Adan and Lorenzo campsite. Tayrona National Park offers luxury stays at Ecohabs Tayrona. Los Nevados trekkers sleep in tents or basic mountain shelters. According to one TourRadar traveler: "The camping facilities were basic but clean and sleeping in hammocks under the stars at Lorenzo camp was an unforgettable experience."
How physically demanding are Colombia's multi-day treks?
The physical demands of Colombian treks vary significantly. Lost City Trek participants hike 4-6 hours each day climbing up to 1200m in humid weather. Los Nevados presents a greater challenge with trails reaching 5220m at Nevado de Tolima requiring daily climbs between 600-1100m. Time for altitude adjustment is crucial. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The Lost City Trek was challenging but achievable - you need good fitness but don't need to be an athlete."
How much does a typical multi-day hiking tour in Colombia cost?
Multi-day hiking tours in Colombia fit different budgets. The 4-day Lost City Trek starts at USD 800 covering meals guides and basic lodging. Combined tours like the 8-day Tayrona and Lost City package run from USD 1400 to 3000. Premium options with upgraded accommodations and extra activities reach USD 4000. According to a TourRadar traveler: "While not cheap the cost included everything - great guides all meals accommodations and transport. The experience was worth every penny."
