Itinerary Ciudad Perdida, the most famous trek in South America - Group

  • Day 1

    Flight to Santa Marta (Approx. 1h 30 min from Bogotá)

    (Not included)

    Ground transportation to Vereda Mamey

    Transportation from your accommodation in Santa Marta (or the airport if you have just arrived) to the El Mamey village to begin the climb to the mythical Lost City.

    El Mamey - Camp Adán

    After a rich lunch, we will begin our climb to Camp Adán. The walk will be about 7.5 km, a route that can last approximately 4 hours. Halfway there we will stop at the viewpoint of the three crosses to recharge our batteries with fruits. In the end we will arrive at the Adán camp to spend the night, but not before cooling off in its natural pools that the mountains offer us.

  • Day 2

    Adam Camp - Teyuna Paradise

    After breakfast, we will leave for the most challenging day of the adventure, in which we will be walking for a total of 8:30 hours. Given the demands, we will have the luxury of stopping for lunch on the banks of the Buritaca River at the Wiwa camp, where we can refresh ourselves to continue the walk. After bordering the Kogui Mutanyi community, we will arrive at our camp, Paraíso Teyuna to spend the night.

  • Day 3

    Teyuna Paradise - Lost City - Camp Wiwa

    With dawn as an alarm, we will go on a short 2km walk to find the 1,200 imposing steps to reach the Lost City, rediscovered in 1973 by archaeologists Gilberto Cadavid and Luisa Fernanda Herrera. Upon arrival, we will see the same terraces on which the Tairona built one of their cities in the 8th century. After exploring the history of the terraces, receiving the energy of the place, and enjoying the mountainous landscape, we will descend again until we reach the Wiwa camp, where we have lunch on day 2, to spend the night.

  • Day 4

    Back to Santa Marta

    Walking the same path that we once saw up with motivation, we will now go down it with satisfaction, while we arrive at Camp Adan to take a short hydration and fruit break. Once recharged, we will return to the path of Mamey to get into a van that will take us back to Santa Marta.
