We want to book a adventurous trip in Columbia during our travels in the Caribbean, in total we have a holiday planned for 6 weeks in total. This means we travel with one big suitcase. Is it possible to leave that suitcase at the hotel where they would safekeep it during the hike and we can pick it up on return. When we book we would like to arrive a day earlier and check out the city. Could you provide us with that as well? Or a day later if thats a better option. Please let us know your recommendations.

Yes you can! The end hotel will be the same as the start hotel, you can leave anything you will not need for the trek at the hotel and they will lock it up.

I wondered about the fitness level required. I gather it's quite a tough trek, I'm healthy and reasonably fit... But not sure whether am fit enough. What height or altitude does the hike go to?

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 :)Show more

G Adventures has resorted to stealing from their clients. 1: I paid a 350 euro deposit. They converted it to USD, but only gave me 350 USD, effectively stealing $47 from me. Management refused to credit me the difference. 2: I paid $899 for a tour in Colombia. They canceled the tour and will not refund the payment (they offered a “credit”). They are advertising tours they are not running, then refusing to refund money paid for them.Show more
