3 Days, 64km: My Personal Diary Hiking Colombia Ciudad Perdida (The Lost City Trek)

I still vividly recall every step of my 3 dayslost city trek covering 64 kilometers through Ciudad Perdida Colombia . This personal diary is a tribute to the physical challenges, breathtaking landscapes, and emotional moments that defined my journey on The Lost City Trek with Expedición Ciudad Perdida.

Day 1: The AwakeningThe journey began with a mix of excitement and nervous anticipation. I arrived at the trailhead in the early hours, the sky still tinted with the first blush of dawn. The air was cool and heavy with the scent of earth and foliage. As our group set off, I felt the first flutter of adventure. Every step on the soft, muddy trail reminded me that I was venturing into a realm steeped in history and mystery.

That day, the path was gentle but unyielding—a gradual introduction to the rigorous challenges ahead. I remember stopping frequently to catch my breath and snap photos of the vibrant jungle. Our guide kept the mood light by sharing humorous anecdotes and fascinating facts about Ciudad Perdida Colombia. By the end of day one, I was both physically tired and mentally exhilarated, eager for what the next day would bring.

Day 2: The Climb and the CultureDay two was the heart of the expedition. I woke up before sunrise, knowing that today’s challenges would test every bit of my resolve. The path grew steeper as we approached the legendary stone steps that lead deeper into the ruins. Each step was a battle—my legs burned, and sweat dripped down my face—but the camaraderie among our group kept my spirits high.

At one point, as I struggled through a particularly challenging ascent, I paused to catch my breath. In that moment of exhaustion, I looked around and saw my fellow trekkers pushing forward, each with their own silent determination. It was a powerful reminder that on The Lost City Trek, every struggle is shared and every triumph is collective.

After the climb, we reached a clearing where we were welcomed by members of an indigenous community. I spent the afternoon immersed in their culture—listening to traditional stories, tasting local cuisine, and feeling a profound sense of connection to Ciudad Perdida Colombia. It was one of those rare moments when you realize that the physical journey is intertwined with a deeper, spiritual exploration.

Day 3: Farewell to the JungleThe final day arrived with a bittersweet mix of relief and melancholy. The return journey was a slower, more reflective pace as we retraced our steps. I took this time to document my thoughts in a small notebook, trying to capture every detail of the jungle’s sounds, the changing light, and the lingering echo of ancient voices. The final stretch was both an emotional farewell and a celebration of the journey’s triumphs.

By the time we reached the trailhead, I felt transformed.

The 64km trek through Ciudad Perdida Colombia had challenged me physically, enriched me culturally, and touched me spiritually. I left with a newfound respect for the land, its history, and the enduring spirit of the people who call it home.
