Itinerario | The Lost City Trek 3 Days

Your adventure begins bright and early at 5:00 AM, when we pick you up from your accommodation in Santa Marta.

Buckle up for an epic 3 hours 4×4 ride through the rugged terrain of the Sierra Nevada, where every twist and turn reveals the untamed beauty of Colombia's mountains.

Our first stop? El Mamey, where you’ll fuel up with a hearty local breakfast—perfect preparation for what lies ahead.

Next, hop on a thrilling motorcycle ride along unpaved paths, a journey through raw wilderness that brings you to Vista Hermosa Camp.

From here, it’s time to lace up your boots for an awe-inspiring 7.6 km trek (approximately 3 hours) to Mumake Camp, where stunning views and the whispers of nature accompany your every step.

At Mumake Camp, enjoy a well-deserved, delicious lunch before continuing on an exhilarating 4-hour hike to Camp 3, immersing yourself in the vibrant flora and fauna of this sacred land.

As evening falls, arrive at Camp 3, where you’ll find cozy beds and modern comforts (think showers, toilets, and electricity available at the camp).

Wrap up your first day by sharing stories over a flavorful local dinner, surrounded by the camaraderie of fellow adventurers.

As the sun rises over the Sierra Nevada, the second day of your adventure begins at 6:00 AM with an energizing breakfast at Camp 3.

Fueled and ready, you’ll set off on a thrilling hike toward the heart of history. Just 2 kilometers away, the path challenges you with 1,200 ancient stone steps, guiding you through lush jungle canopies until you reach the awe-inspiring Lost City of Teyuna, a sacred site shrouded in legend and mystery.

Once you arrive, prepare to be captivated during a 3-4 hour guided tour through the majestic ruins of Teyuna. Learn about the rich history, culture, and wisdom of the indigenous ancestors who built this ancient civilization.

Explore the intricately designed terraces, ceremonial sites, and pathways that whisper stories of the past and connect you to the spirit of this magical place.

After this unforgettable exploration, you’ll return to the Camp for a well-deserved lunch, where you’ll refuel your body and recharge your spirit. The adventure doesn’t end here!

From the camp, embark on another invigorating trek, traversing vibrant landscapes as you descend for approximately 4 hours, passing through the charming village of Mutanyi before arriving at Mumake Camp.

At Mumake, the comforts of hammocks or beds (subject to availability) await you, as does a hearty dinner shared with your fellow adventurers. Wind down the evening surrounded by the tranquility of the jungle, reflecting on the extraordinary discoveries of the day and the timeless magic of Teyuna.

As the first rays of sunlight gently kiss the landscape, we’ll begin our final day of adventure with a nourishing breakfast, preparing ourselves for the journey ahead. Today, we’ll embark on a 7-hour trek covering 17 kilometers, split into two distinct routes.

1st JOURNEY, 4 HOURS | 10 KM

Our morning begins with a 4-hour trek through the lush, vibrant jungle of the Sierra Nevada. The trail winds through dense forests, where the sounds of nature create a serene soundtrack to our hike. The path, mostly uphill with some downhill sections, leads us to CAMP 1, where we’ll pause to enjoy a refreshing snack and recharge for the final stretch.

LAST JOURNEY, 3 HOURS | 8 KM

The final leg of our journey takes us through more open terrain, where the sun shines bright, and shade is scarce. We’ll walk for about 3 hours, covering 8 kilometers as we descend towards MAMEY. This part of the trek is mostly downhill, giving us the perfect opportunity to reflect on the incredible journey we've just completed.

Upon reaching MAMEY, the place where our adventure began, we’ll celebrate our accomplishment with a well-deserved lunch before taking a car back to Santa Marta. Expect to arrive between 3:00 P.M. and 6:00 P.M. (time varies by season). If you left any luggage with our staff, you can collect it here or at our office.
