Colombia - Lost City Trekking
14 Reviews by TourRadar travelers“The food was also amazing! It's a tough hike, but the experience is worth it!”
Haley, traveled in January 2023
A challenging 46km path leads through Sierra Nevada's steamy jungle and rural Kogi communities over 5 intensive days. Riverside camps with basic facilities provide rest stops, with home-cooked Colombian meals. Ancient stone steps, all 1,200 of them, lead to ruins at 1,200m elevation with expert indigenous guides.

- Colombia - Lost City Trekking
Wonderful hiking experience through the Colombian jungle. Our guides were fantastic, and despite language barriers, always made sure we were safe. The food was also amazing! I also really appreciated the extra day of exploring waterfalls. It's a tough hike, but the experience is worth it!

The trip was challenging...particularly because of the jungle humidity...but amazing and unique (again because of the jungle)... But I'm writing this to share some tips with those interested in booking this trip: - Local guides are required by the government and Gadventures uses local operators. You can book directly with local operators for about 250USD cheaper. BUT Gadventures offer an English speaking guide, accomodations before and after the tour, and a guide to help you within the city of Santa Marta. - The Trek is offered locally as a 3-day, 4-day and 5-day options. But I recommend the 5-day option if you would like to view the jungle/waterfalls/birds. The 3-day trek is very rushed. - You will be accompanied by at least two more local guides and a cook. Our cook was amazing and she made us all kind of great local food. Not to mention the selection of fruit we were offered at rest stops. - Accomodations were group jungle camp sites but were sufficient. Had hot water and electricity. - Nothing dries in the jungle...you don't need more than two outfits. One to sleep in and another to hike in, wash, and wear again the next day. - Light long hiking pants is a must, especially on the last day, to avoid ticks! - Bring a swimming outfit. - If you are Canadian, like me, be prepared to pay an extra $85+ per person by creditcard at the border. It is a retaliatory charge against Canada. They will also add 10% currency conversion fee if you pay in Canadian Dollar :)
My mother and I went on the Hidden Colombia trek to the Lost City back in January/February of 2015 and were so absolutely amazed at our experience! Almost every single thing was taken care of for us by OneSeed: from our airport rides in Bogota, our B&B accommodations, our flight to Santa Marta, all meals while on the breath-taking hike to La Ciudad Perdida, and so much more! Our guides, Sally and Wilson, were beyond great, and our cook, Danilo, was fabulous! We had three perfect meals per day, plus a couple carb-loaded snacks in between to fuel our bodies throughout the day while climbing the Andes. Our experience was so perfect, that my mom and I went AGAIN in January, 2016! We just simply had a craving for more intense hiking. The second time around was just as great as the first. Hopefully we will be booking a third trip with OneSeed in the next few months, either to Machu Picchu or back to Colombia! I would recommend them to anybody!

"We loved the entire Trek to the Lost City in Colombia, the range of sites, climates, topography, landscape and altitudes was immensely rewarding. The program was intense but not overly. Always something of interest, but with enough down-time. Very well planned, and the opportunity to see quite a lot of famous places on the western site in Colombia. Definitely we recommend you guys to everyone we know. I will contact you again if we decide to travel back to South America next year.
