Lost City Tour Colombia
On this tour, we will be accompanied by indigenous guides and face a demanding Trek for adventurers or athletes who enjoy long walks on trails.
The Lost City (Teyuna) has been compared to the ruins of Machu Pichu, for being a city built by indigenous people before the conquest (that is to say, it is a pre-Hispanic work), but it is worth to bear in mind that the architecture of The Lost City has not been restored, and its terraces, roads and architecture are as they were during the passing of several centuries.
During the Lost City Tour 5 days you will be able to visit this magnificent work created by the ancient Tayrona Indigenous people with the help of their descendants the Wiwa Indigenous guides, who will teach you the culture and the natural and ancestral wealth that this magical place has.

Carry only the essentials, since weight is a determining factor when walking, make sure you are in good physical condition, avoid drinking alcoholic beverages the day before and take back with you all trash to Santa Marta.
Do not damage natural or cultural assets. In the Lost City and during the tour there is no mobile phone signal, so notify your family and friends that you can only get in touch with them once you return from your trekking experience.
During the day the weather is hot and humid, so we recommend wearing comfortable clothes, shirts and walking shorts; during the night the temperature drops to 14 C approximately and there are a lot of mosquitoes and other insects, it is important to wear long pants and long sleeves shirts to sleep and to use insect repellent.

Tour Reviews
We had a great experience with Jose Maria and Wiwa Tours. I recommend Wiwa Tours because the company is run by the local Wiwa people. Jose Maria gave us a great insight into the culture , nature and history. The guides speak Spanish, for English speakers you might be fortunate to have an English and Spanish speaker in your group, we were glad we took a translator organised by Columbia 57, thanks Junior! Tour was very well organised and food was very good. Pack as light as you can. Trek is not long but quite tough with steep terrain and often very wet. We took five days , which meant a bit of hanging around, four days probably best if you have reasonable walking stamina. The Lost City is a fascinating site. We were really fortunate to meet the local shaman.
