The Lost City Trek to Ciu\u00addad Per\u00addi\u00adda was defi\u00adni\u00adte\u00adly one of THE high\u00adlights of my Colom\u00adbia round trip. Four days, at 35\u00b0 C and 90% humi\u00addi\u00adty, once through the jungle of the Sier\u00adra Neva\u00adda to find it: the lost city. What makes it so spe\u00adcial? Unli\u00adke Mac\u00adchu Pic\u00adchu, the rui\u00adned city can only be rea\u00adched on foot. Accor\u00addin\u00adgly, the\u00adre is still rela\u00adtively litt\u00adle going on here and the Lost City Trek to Ciu\u00addad Per\u00addi\u00adda is still almost an insi\u00adder tip for adven\u00adtu\u00adr\u00aders in Colom\u00adbia. In this blog post, I share my per\u00adso\u00adnal Lost City Trek expe\u00adri\u00aden\u00adces, important infor\u00adma\u00adti\u00adon and hel\u00adpful tips. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Ciu\u00addad Per\u00addi\u00adda (\u2018Lost City\u2019) is an impres\u00adsi\u00adve relic of a long-gone cul\u00adtu\u00adre. The rui\u00adned city is loca\u00adted in the midd\u00adle of the Sier\u00adra Neva\u00adda de San\u00adta Mar\u00adta, around 40 km south-east of San\u00adta Mar\u00adta. Along\u00adside Mac\u00adchu Pic\u00adchu, Ciu\u00addad Per\u00addi\u00adda is one of the lar\u00adgest and most impres\u00adsi\u00adve his\u00adto\u00adri\u00adcal cities in South America. <\/p>\n

The archaeo\u00adlo\u00adgi\u00adcal remains con\u00adsist of oval ter\u00adraces, squa\u00adres, stairs and paths that are up to 1,200 years old. The Lost City was once the poli\u00adti\u00adcal and reli\u00adgious cen\u00adter of the Tay\u00adro\u00adna cul\u00adtu\u00adre and later fell into obli\u00advi\u00adon. It was not until 1972 that the city was redis\u00adco\u00adver\u00aded and loo\u00adted by gra\u00adve rob\u00adbers befo\u00adre it was later exten\u00adsi\u00adve\u00adly recon\u00ads\u00adtruc\u00adted and res\u00adto\u00adred by archaeo\u00adlo\u00adgists. The Lost City was then made acces\u00adsi\u00adble to tourists. <\/p>\n

To this day, the Ciu\u00addad Per\u00addi\u00adda is an important part of Colom\u00adbi\u00adan histo\u00adry and cul\u00adtu\u00adre and attracts thou\u00adsands of visi\u00adtors every year who want to learn more about the anci\u00adent civilization.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

As des\u00adcen\u00addants of the Tay\u00adro\u00adna, the Kogi still live in the Sier\u00adra Neva\u00adda today. The Ciu\u00addad Per\u00addi\u00adda is a sacred place for them and you will encoun\u00adter them regu\u00adlar\u00adly during the hike. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

If you want to see the Lost City with your own eyes, the\u00adre is only one opti\u00adon: a hike las\u00adting seve\u00adral days. But that is exact\u00adly what makes it so spe\u00adcial and appe\u00adal\u00ading. The\u00adre are six offi\u00adci\u00adal\u00adly regis\u00adtered tour ope\u00adra\u00adtors in San\u00adta Mar\u00adta (you can\u2019t do wit\u00adhout one) who offer the Lost City Trek. I boo\u00adked with Expo\u00adtur<\/b> on the basis of some recom\u00admen\u00adda\u00adti\u00adons in San\u00adta Mar\u00adta and was total\u00adly satis\u00adfied. The trek takes 4 days as stan\u00addard, but you can also extend it to 5 days. I opted for the 4\u2011day hike. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The first day starts at 9 a.m. at the Expo\u00adtur office in San\u00adta Mar\u00adta. Here I got to know my hiking group for the next few days and our gui\u00adde Anto\u00adnio befo\u00adre we are dri\u00adven to the start\u00ading point of our hike, the vil\u00adla\u00adge of El Mamey. After a deli\u00adcious lunch, we set off on the 3\u20134 hour hike to the first camp. We climb over 500 meters in alti\u00adtu\u00adde at over 30\u00b0C befo\u00adre having to des\u00adcend a few meters to the first camp. We were alre\u00ada\u00addy swea\u00adting after just a few minu\u00adtes, but the first views of the lush green moun\u00adta\u00adins of the Sier\u00adra Neva\u00adda made up for the initi\u00adal effort. The water\u00adme\u00adlons offe\u00adred along the way are always hap\u00adpi\u00adly accept\u00aded by my group. When we reach our first camp in the ear\u00adly evening, we can take a dip in the river and round off the evening with a deli\u00adcious meal. By 8 p.m. we are all tired and fall into our beds. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The day starts ear\u00adly. Our gui\u00adde Anto\u00adnio wakes us up at 5:00 am, we have break\u00adfast at 5:30 am and the lon\u00adgest and most stre\u00adnuous hiking day of the enti\u00adre trek starts at 6:00 am. The\u00adre is a lot of uphill and we will cover a total of 18 kilo\u00adme\u00adters today. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

But today\u2019s stage is not bor\u00ading eit\u00adher. We take regu\u00adlar breaks and keep coming across indi\u00adge\u00adnous peo\u00adp\u00adle and their vil\u00adla\u00adges. At one stop, an indi\u00adge\u00adnous man explains their cus\u00adtoms and tra\u00addi\u00adti\u00adons to us in more detail, e.g. how they mix and chew coca lea\u00adves with mus\u00adsel pow\u00adder. We have lunch at the second camp befo\u00adre hea\u00adding on to the third camp in the after\u00adnoon, which is clo\u00adsest to the Lost City. As on the pre\u00advious day, ever\u00adyo\u00adne went to bed at around 8 p.m., as we all wan\u00adted to be fit and well-res\u00adted the next day. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Today is the day of days! Get\u00adting up was the\u00adr\u00ade\u00adfo\u00adre a litt\u00adle easier, as we were alre\u00ada\u00addy within reach of our desti\u00adna\u00adti\u00adon: the Lost City. We left the camp at 6 a.m. on the dot and set off again. After a first stage of hiking, we had to cross the Rio Burita\u00adca and then climb 1200 steps until we final\u00adly rea\u00adched it: The Lost City. Hap\u00adpy, swea\u00adty and tired, we soak up the first impres\u00adsi\u00adons of the anci\u00adent ruins befo\u00adre our gui\u00adde Anto\u00adnio explains ever\u00ady\u00adthing befo\u00adre lea\u00adding us through the Lost City. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Litt\u00adle by litt\u00adle, we explo\u00adre the Lost City while our gui\u00adde pati\u00adent\u00adly explains ever\u00ady\u00adthing to us. We deli\u00adbera\u00adte\u00adly take our time, as Anto\u00adnio, our gui\u00adde, obvious\u00adly had a plan .\u2026 He wan\u00adted to take our group to the main squa\u00adre and the famous pho\u00adto spot from whe\u00adre the Lost City lies at your feet. And we suc\u00adcee\u00added. We have the enti\u00adre Lost City and the best view all to our\u00adsel\u00adves. And while we take in the view and ever\u00adyo\u00adne takes their pho\u00adtos, our gui\u00adde arri\u00adves with a deli\u00adcious snack plat\u00adter. Wow! What a pic\u00adnic spot and the grins on my group\u2019s faces were hard to beat. Becau\u00adse this is exact\u00adly what we were out for! <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Mamo and his fami\u00adly still live on the out\u00adskirts of Ciu\u00addad Per\u00addi\u00adda. He is the lea\u00adder of the Kogi tri\u00adbe (the des\u00adcen\u00addants of the Tay\u00adro\u00adna) and is the only one who has the right to live the\u00adre. Unfort\u00adu\u00adna\u00adte\u00adly, we don\u2019t meet him in per\u00adson, but we do meet one of his daugh\u00adters, who gives us an armand each. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

We are back at camp for lunch befo\u00adre con\u00adti\u00adnuing on our way back. And then, in the after\u00adnoon, the time has come: it starts to rain! We get wet for the first time on our hike and by the time we get back to camp it\u2019s clear that the\u00adse clo\u00adthes won\u2019t dry. But I\u2019m glad that we only got wet on the way back and not on the way there. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The last day of hiking is upon us. We have ano\u00adther good stretch ahead of us until the after\u00adnoon, until we are back in the vil\u00adla\u00adge of El Mamey, whe\u00adre we star\u00adted on the first day. When we reach the vil\u00adla\u00adge, we are all over\u00adjoy\u00aded and enjoy a cold beer and a deli\u00adcious lunch befo\u00adre hea\u00adding back to San\u00adta Mar\u00adta by jeep. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For me, the trek to the Lost City was defi\u00adni\u00adte\u00adly one of the high\u00adlights of my trip to Colom\u00adbia and it real\u00adly was a uni\u00adque expe\u00adri\u00adence. The who\u00adle day in natu\u00adre, from ear\u00adly in the mor\u00adning until late at night, wha\u00adte\u00adver the wea\u00adther, wit\u00adhout any cell pho\u00adne recep\u00adti\u00adon. That made up for all the effort. I also never expec\u00adted to learn so much about the indi\u00adge\u00adnous peo\u00adp\u00adles along the way and the Ciu\u00addad Per\u00addi\u00adda its\u00adelf was of cour\u00adse real\u00adly great. <\/p>\n

To be honest, I had expec\u00adted the trek to be more phy\u00adsi\u00adcal\u00adly chal\u00adlen\u00adging or push me to my limits. With hind\u00adsight, I can say that anyo\u00adne with a good basic level of fit\u00adness should be able to com\u00adple\u00adte the trek wit\u00adhout any problems. <\/p>\n

So if you fan\u00adcy an expe\u00adri\u00adence off the bea\u00adten track, enjoy being out in natu\u00adre and want to chall\u00adenge yours\u00adelf a litt\u00adle phy\u00adsi\u00adcal\u00adly, the Lost City Trek is defi\u00adni\u00adte\u00adly a highlight. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The\u00adre are six offi\u00adci\u00adal\u00adly regis\u00adtered tour ope\u00adra\u00adtors in San\u00adta Mar\u00adta (you can\u2019t do wit\u00adhout one) that offer the Lost City Trek. The pri\u00adce is the same for all pro\u00advi\u00adders and is COP 1,750,000 (~ \u20ac350.00; 02\/2023) inclu\u00adding tra\u00advel, accom\u00admo\u00adda\u00adti\u00adon, meals, gui\u00adde and ent\u00adrance fee. The\u00adre should\u00adn\u2019t be much dif\u00adfe\u00adrence in terms of per\u00adfor\u00admance. Based on some recom\u00admen\u00adda\u00adti\u00adons in San\u00adta Mar\u00adta, I boo\u00adked with Expo\u00adtur<\/b><\/a> and was total\u00adly satis\u00adfied. The hike lasts 4 days as stan\u00addard, but you can also extend it to 5 days. I opted for the 4\u2011day hike. <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
