Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta Tours & Trips
Imagine trekking through humid jungle, crossing rivers, and stopping in small villages along the way. Guides point out birds and plants as the trail climbs higher. The final stone steps lead to the terraces of the Lost City, quiet among the trees. Most people sit down for a while, just taking in the moment.

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!

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.
