Tour Reviews
Just came back from a wonderful journey from ciudad perdida. Elíseo, our tour guide was very kind and knowledgeable. Erica, our translator was very energetic and nice. And last but not least, Chaves our cook was amazing! Every single meal was delicious, including vegetarian meals for couple of people in our group.
The landscape was superb, but very exhausting… glad we did it, highly recommend if you like nature and hiking! Definitely not a 5 stars hotel, but 5 stars experience!
Es una experiencia excelente, nos permite conocer no solo Ciudad Pérdida sino también la forma como viven los indígenas y campesinos que habitan la región, este tipo de planes apoyan el turismo comunitario y todas las personas que se mueven alrededor del mismo. La comida es deliciosa y se amoldan a las dietas de cada una de las personas. Mi guia fue José Luis, una persona muy sabía y conocedor de su cultura y de la región, nuestra cocinera fue Ana, quien cocina delicioso y está pendiente de que nuestros refrigerios lleguen a tiempo a dónde los necesitamos. Si bien la caminata es exigente, la recompensa de llegar a Ciudad Pérdida y la satisfacción de lograr el descenso, hacen de esta experiencia algo inolvidable. Sin duda es un plan auténtico que nos permite conocer la Sierra Nevada en su verdadera dimensión. Súper recomendado el tour por esta agencia que es la única que tiene guías pertenecientes a la comunidad indígena.
This experience was just magical. We had an amazing trip even though the hike was though. Our gudies Angel and Leandro were more than wonderful. They exlplained a lot about the different tribes, ther costumes and what a sacret and special places the lost city is to them.
Beides that, the Food was amazing and the kitchen staff (Sandra and Jose) was also very helpful and friendly.
