  • 5 Day Trek with Ecosierra

    manong323,,Nov 2, 2024

    - Review from Tripadvisor

    5.00

    We loved our 5-day trek to the Lost City. We were lucky enough to be accompanied by only two of our guide and translator. Everything was very well organized. We ran out of nothing and certainly no food. The food was very good and hearty. The fruits during the hike are very appreciable. The camps are sketchy but clean with showers. We also enjoyed our 5th day of more intimate trekking as we were the only ones at the camp and enjoyed great stunts. A big crush for Émilie our Stéphanois translator whom I recommend 1000%. She listened to us for 5 days, looked after our well-being and enriched us with Colombian history. I recommend Ecosierra and this trek which is physical but doable (PS take spares) but especially a bubble of greenery and calm in the jungle!

  • Family vacation plan with teenager. Requires acceptable physical and mental state.

    Excellent plan for those who like nature and have experience with moderate walking. Both the middle (walks) and the end (Lost City) are worth the effort. The local association of wonderful Guides, motivate to revisit other aspects of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta and Tayrona Park
