Tourists Who Have Traveled With Expotur

The trek is incredible, taking you right through stunning nature. Almost the entire route is covered by a beautiful roof of trees, so you walk comfortably in the shade. Along the way you pass the river regularly, with a chance to swim daily at the end of the day. There are several well timed stops where you are treated to delicious fresh fruit. You also occasionally meet members of one of the four indigenous communities, which makes the journey even more special. The camps are very well organized and comfortable, with electricity, showers, mosquito nets, good food, and even internet access. The city itself was amazing to see. We visited in April during the low season and felt like we had the place almost entirely to ourselves. Our guide Jorge was outstanding. He maintained a perfect walking pace with a great balance of short breaks. He also had an excellent sense of when we wanted more information and when we preferred some free time. Highly recommended.Publicado en Google William BurkittTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. The Ciudad Perdida / Lost City trek in Colombia is AMAZING. We did the four day trek with Expotur, based in Santa Marta, in mid January 2026. Our group became known as Pericos and our fantastic Expotur team of Dennis (guide), Aura (translator), and Jesús J. (Cook) were the best. They made the trek fun, safe, rewarding, educational and definitely life-long memorable. The pacing and structure of the trek, drinks and meals, nightly accommodation was perfect. The team was dedicated to looking after our Pericos group whilst there were a number of other groups on the trek and at camps each day. Our Expotur team ensured our whole group made it to the Lost City early morning of the third day and we could spend plenty of time marvelling and exploring. Also, the respect and integration of the trek and information with the local indigenous tribes was great. I highly recommend Expotur for the Lost City trek, and if you are lucky having Dennis and team looking after you.Publicado en Google steven orozcoTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. The tour was amazing. Our guide Antonio was great!Publicado en Google Eva van der VeldeTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Ge-wel-dige 4-daagse tour naar de Lost City dankzij Expotur, met speciale dank aan Daniel en Alberto! Onze guide Daniel was top! Hij vertelde veel over de geschiedenis van Colombia en dankzij Alberto, die alles voor ons vertaalde naar het Engels, kregen we alles goed mee. We hadden een gezellige kleine groep en in de avond speelden we spelletjes, maar je kon doen waar je zelf zin in had. Het hiken was soms best pittig door de warmte en de stijlen stukken, maar ik had het voor geen goud willen missen!Publicado en Google Pien BleekerTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. We had an amazing time during the lost city hike, because of our guide Daniel and translator Alberto. The food was really good due to our cook Joel. Tayronas for life!!Publicado en Google James PTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. An absolutely incredible trek into the jungle led by the hilarious and deeply engaging Dennis, translated by the fantastic and open Carlos, and fed proper good nosh by the hard working Joel. I would recommend this trip to anyone that wants to learn more about the culture and the demography of the area, and to anyone that enjoys a good challenge (it is still a hard trek despite being led!)Publicado en Google Zhu PaulTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Took the 4 day lost city trek, very nice experiences with good introduction of history and indigenous culture. Nice guide and translator and very delicious food.Publicado en Google Nic ATrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. The best hiking tour EVER!!! Tatiana was a fantastic guide - so friendly and informative - and the company was great. She was definitely constructing great vibes On top of that THE FOOD WAS FANTASTIC. All these years later I remember hiking up brutal hills. it was hot. And then being met with cold fruit and drink at the top of a hill. The breakfast, lunches and dinner were also amazing. Flavourful fish was probably my best memory. MMMPublicado en Google Ian DaisleyTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I really enjoyed the hike. Sara and Alberto where great about telling us about the history and people of the country, letting people move at their own pace and making sure that everyone had what they needed. I am sure there are lots of good guides and interpreters but if you are with either of them I can't see that you will be disappointed. I understand you can ask ahead to see who will be assigned to your hike. The toughest part of the hike is the heat and humidity but people who do cardio on a regular basis will be able to do the hike. It was less remote that I expected but still the highlight of my two weeks in Colombia. I didn't really understand that need to bring cash but there are lots of small shops to buy snacks or drinks along the way though if you want, that said the food provided is good and there are fruit breaks every day.Verificado por: TrustindexLa insignia verificada de Trustindex es el símbolo universal de confianza.

EXCELLENT Based on 6310 reviews Posted on Yarinda JVerified Amazing experience! Special thanks to Justin We had an absolutely amazing experience. Our guide Elizabeth was incredibly kind and truly engaged with us, sharing so much about the culture and history in a way that made everything come alive. Justin really made our trip unforgettable. He is not only an excellent translator, but also very warm, fun to be around, and extremely knowledgeable. He truly felt like a guide in every sense of the word. We also enjoyed delicious meals thanks to our cook, Ismael. Everything was prepared with great care and tasted fantastic. Thank you all for everything!Posted on JojoVerified Unforgettable Experience 🙌 It is more than 2 months ago that I‘ve done the hike to the Lost City and the feeling that I‘ve experienced one of the most impressive tours I‘ve ever done still keeps me stoked 🤩 I will not forget the great group I was with and our awesome guide from Expotours: Nelson! He was giving us a deep dive into the history of the Kogi‘s and the Ciudad Perdida. And Melina our translator who was a great help and lovely company. I will be back one day I hope 🤞 🤞❤️Posted on Carolina RVerified Een trekking om nooit te vergeten Een geweldige ervaring! Samen met de gidsen Nelson en Justin én 12 te gekke groepsgenoten heb ik genoten van deze trekking. Ik had dit nooit willen missen. De informatie, het lekkere eten (bedankt Ana) , de bedden, de uitzichten, de activiteiten, de leuke avonden, alles was superleuk/goed! Goede organisatie, alles loopt makkelijk en er zijn niet teveel pietluttige regeltjes. Zeker doen!Posted on lotteschafferVerified AMAZING Het was een geweldige ervaring. Hiken dwars door de jungle, langs de inheemse stammen. Het overnachten, eten en drinken was top verzorgd. Absolute aanrader om met Expotur te gaan. (Ons team bestond uit David, Ceasar en Josef, superteam!)Posted on andrea gVerified unforgettable experience and strongly recommended! it was an incredible experience! the guides have been amazing, loved sharing knowledge with us and were kind and attentive. And made us have an unforgettable experience! truly love the group of people we hiked with too! what a nice diverse bunch of peoplePosted on Daan KVerified Highlight of our Colombia trip! We had a great jungle experience with Expotours! Cesar Jr and David did a great job at guiding us through the jungle. Explaining us the history, answering questions and making it a fun 4 days as well. The chef Jesus prepared the best breakfast, lunch and dinners, so we'd have the energy to walk the whole day:) Would reccommend this tour to everyone!Posted on kyraVerified Would recommend I had the best time on the lost city trek the last couple of days! My group (the sudados) was taken perfectly care of by our guide (Adriana), our translator (Carlos) and our cook (Orlando). Thank you so much!Posted on Nora DVerified Une aventure unique et inoubliable J'ai adoré ce trek à travers la Sierra Nevada jusqu'à la Ciudad Perdida. En avril il y avait peu de visiteurs. Les paysages sont à couper le souffle et le site sacré de la Ciudad Perdida mérite largement l'effort physique pour y parvenir. Les lits sont très confortables et les moustiquaires donnent un peu d'intimité. Notre cuisinier, Orlando, nous a préparé des plats colombiens très savoureux et procuré des fruits succulents à savourer lors des pauses sur le trajet. En plus de nous avoir accompagnés, notre guide Adriana et notre traducteur Carlos nous ont raconté l'histoire des lieux, nous ont emmenés nous baigner dans une rivière ressourçant et étaient aussi à l'écoute de nos besoins supplémentaires (ils ont organisé notre descente en moto sur la dernière partie du trajet). Je recommande sans hésiter Expotur et surtout avec Adriana, Carlos et Orlando.Posted on Nick TVerified Great guide for a great hike The hike was amazing. Our guide Jose (Jose negro) and translator Jamir were super informative about the main city and all other sights on the way. The guides were great at keeping the vibes high and kept everyone moving forward at the hardest parts of the hike. The food was great. Our chef Jamir kept everyone fueled for the hike. The transport to and from the hike was comfortable. Expotur was easy to organise and communicate with.Posted on Ashley BVerified Great trip!! Had an awesome time on the trek! The actual trek is incredible but the experience is made from the caring and enthusiastic guides - Jose & Aldair. They were there every step to make sure we were all having a good time and we were well looked after. Jose has incredible knowledge and our translated Aldair did a great job making sure this was all clear to those of us whose Spanish isn’t super fluent. Our food was good and plentiful thanks to chef Jamir. Special props for surprise popcorn or hot chocolate in the afternoons when we needed a pep up.
