The Ciudad Perdida (The Lost City) is the Machu Pichu of Colombia.
The journey is often more important than the destination… this is definitely the case with Ciudad Perdida. The site of the Lost City is really impressive, but the 5 day / 4 night trek through Colombia's Sierra Nevada jungle is what really made the trip worthwhile. Going up and down several hundred meters of altitude daily, through multiple river crossings, and non-stop breathtaking views... a total of 47km of walking roundtrip. The most impressive thing is that it was SO hot that even after drinking 2+ litres of water per day, Dom only had to pee 3 times (just kidding). Our casa lodging was also exquisite: exterior hammocks or beds with front row jungle views and the natural sounds of jungle to send our weary bodies to sleep. An added plus - every casa had natural pools for us to escape the relentless heat and humidity.
