Colombia – trektocht naar de verloren stad – 4 dagen

It is time to get ready for one of the most incredible and amazing hikes over all South America, it is a hidden place in the middle of La Sierra Nevada mountain range.

­ 

This is a hard and excited hike, where you will visit remote areas surrounded by just primary forest and local communities.

­ 

On this day we will drive you towards El Mamey Village where we will serve lunch and get energy to start the first hike up to Alfredo´s Camp Site. It will be 12 kms approx. ( 6.5 miles ) upon arrival you will get your bed ( by the way this type of Camp sites in this area are very basic divided in the same big room a lot of bunk beds with mosquito nets each one. It is not going to be a normal hotel during the hike to the Lost City, so get prepared to live this unique experience).

­ 

Overnight: Alfredo Camp * (THERE IS NOT UPGRADES FOR THIS PART OF THE TOUR)

Meals: L-D

************************* Annual Park Closures apply for 2025 ***************************

­ 

Many tourists are unaware that Tayrona Park closes three times a year for Indigenous ceremonies. These closures allow the land to regenerate and honor local traditions.

­ 

In 2025, the park will be closed on the following dates:

­ 

• February 1 – 15: A period of rest to allow nature to renew itself.
• June 1 – 15: According to the Kogi people, this marks the earth’s “menstruation,” a sacred time.
• October 19 – November 2: A period when animals perform their rituals in harmony with nature.

­ 

So this tour is NOT available in any case during this time 

­ 

Note: It’s a tour you can join on the date that best suits you, allowing you to travel at your ideal time. Since some services are mixed, there may be moments during the itinerary where you meet other travelers, while other parts will be entirely private. This combination makes each stage of the journey different, authentic, and truly unique.

­

At 4:30 am, it is time to wake up and pack before breakfast. This day you will hike longer than before, splitted in two parts. 

­ 

First it is going to be 7 Kms (4 miles approx.) up to a Wiwa Camp, where you will rest for a bit a have lunch. 

­ 

Then is going to a hike up to reach the highgest point of the day (it is hard but you can do it!!) , then we will continue towards El Paraiso (10 kms or 6 miles approx.)  Camp to rest and spend the night (this one is also a basic place , where you will sleep , I am sure after this day hike you will feel ready for bed right after dinner.

This day will start at 5:00 am with breakfast , but you wont have to pack right away because on this day we will take you visit the Lost City which is very close from the Camp site , so you only need the hiking gear , camera and more energy to climb over 1200 steps that are guarding this Archeological Complex!!!.

­ 

You will be one of the first to visit the place, where you can enjoy and admire the sacred place and enchanted by the Indian and their ancestors for more than 700 years.

You will have time to take the best pictures , ususally in the morning the wheather is very good and sunny, perfect for this propose.
