Day 1 – Start the Lost City 4 Day Trek\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 4 day Lost City trek Colombia begins in Santa Marta at 8:00 a.m., when a 4\u00d74 vehicle picks travelers up at their accommodations and takes them to the main Expotur office. There, the guide and the support team welcome the group, provide important instructions, and answer questions before the expedition begins.<\/p>\n

From Santa Marta, the group travels for about two and a half hours along the Caribbean highway until reaching La Aguacatera, where the unpaved road toward the town of El Mamey begins. El Mamey is the official starting point of the trekking route. Upon arrival, travelers enjoy a traditional lunch to recharge before the first hike.<\/p>\n

First Segment of the Route (4 hours \u2013 10 km)<\/p>\n

After lunch, the first trekking section begins. This initial stretch covers approximately 10 km, completed in about four hours. The trail is mostly open, with limited shade and several ascents, so staying hydrated and protecting your skin from the sun is essential.<\/p>\n

As the climb progresses through rugged terrain, travelers start to feel the characteristic climate of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta. Around 4:30 p.m., the group reaches Ad\u00e1n Camp. The guide organizes accommodations for everyone, and, if time allows, travelers can enjoy a refreshing swim in a natural pool near the camp before dinner.<\/p>\n

Day 2 – Ad\u00e1n Camp – Mutanzhi – Zhulezhi Camp<\/strong><\/p>\n

The second day starts very early. At 5:00 a.m., the guide wakes the group just as the sunrise illuminates the mountains of the Sierra Nevada. After breakfast, the hike continues through two segments totaling approximately 18 km.<\/p>\n

The first segment covers about 9 km through dense jungle landscapes. Along the way, the group passes through the Indigenous Kogui village of Mutanzhi, where the guide explains the customs, traditions, and ancestral lifestyle of this community. The trek continues to Mumake Camp, where lunch and a well-deserved rest await.<\/p>\n

After lunch, the group begins the second segment of the day. This part of the trail includes steep paths that require endurance and good physical condition as the terrain becomes more demanding.<\/p>\n

By the end of the day, travelers arrive at Zhulezhi Camp, an important point on the route because it is very close to the Lost City Trekking Colombia. Here, the group rests, has dinner, and spends the night surrounded by the natural beauty of the Sierra Nevada. This stage of the tour offers a deeper connection to the jungle environment and mountainous geography, making the experience even more immersive.<\/p>\n

Day 3 – Zhulezhi Camp – Lost City – Mumake Camp<\/strong><\/p>\n

Day three is one of the most important moments of the tour, marking the long-awaited arrival at the archaeological site of Teyuna. Early in the morning, the group begins a 4 km hike that follows the river and curves around the mountains.<\/p>\n

Then begins the ascent of the 1,200 stone steps built centuries ago by the Tayrona, one of the most iconic segments of the Lost City trek. As the group climbs, the dense vegetation gradually reveals the ancient terraces and structures of this sacred site.<\/p>\n

At the top, travelers have approximately three hours to explore the Lost City. The guide shares the history, cultural significance, and the relationship that today\u2019s Indigenous communities maintain with this ancestral territory. The atmosphere and energy of the site make the visit a profound and memorable experience.<\/p>\n

After the guided tour, the group descends the stone steps to Paso Lorenzo Camp for lunch. The hike then continues back to Zhulezhi.<\/p>\n

The final stretch of the day covers about 10 km until reaching Mumake Camp once again, where travelers rest, have dinner, and enjoy their third night in the jungle.<\/p>\n

Day 4 – Mumake Camp – El Mamey – Santa Marta<\/strong><\/p>\n

The final day begins with an early breakfast and a calm sunrise. The group starts the return journey, covering 18 km divided into two segments. The first section is a 10 km walk along the same trail back to Ad\u00e1n Camp, where the group enjoys a short break and a light snack.<\/p>\n

After resting, the group continues the last 8 km of the trek. At this stage, it is important to stay hydrated and maintain a steady pace, as the sun exposure and accumulated effort can make the terrain feel more demanding.<\/p>\n

At the end of the hike, the group returns to El Mamey, the starting point of the trekking route. A final lunch awaits to celebrate the accomplishment. After resting, the 4\u00d74 transport takes the group back to Santa Marta, concluding the 4 day Lost City Tour.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
