Hidden deep in the rainforest of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountains in Colombia lies Ciudad Perdida the “Lost City.” Upon rediscovery in the 1970’s this archaeological site perched on hillsides and built by the Tayrona people more than 1,000 years ago has rapidly become a world wonder. Being so isolated from civilization due to its remote location in the South American jungle this destination has created one of the best trekking excursions south of the equator. A grueling 44km multi-day hike through several river crossings and steep climbs along the highest coastal mountain range in the world will allow you to witness its beauty firsthand. No doubt you will have the opportunity to interact with the indigenous communities of the Kogi and Wiwa people who still inhabit the area all the while preserving the traditions of the Tayronas. This unforgettable 4 day experience connecting not only with ancient culture but Mother Nature wouldn’t come without a climactic finish as you ascend 1,200 stone steps to the very top forcing your mind, body and spirit to have to prove everything it’s capable of!
