Trek Colombia’s Mountains and Lost City

What an amazing adventure! I got to learn and experience so much! Both hikes were beautiful. All the guides had such great positive energy and had so much knowledge! Especially the lost city trek, and everything that came with it, has been so unique and special: learning about, and meeting, the native tribes while hiking in the beautiful Colombian jungle. Memories for life.

Fantastic hiking adventure in this biodiverse area. Laura and the guides looked after us all really well and I would very much recommend a trip to Colombia. I would suggest definitely arrive a day or two early to explore Medellín.

We had a true once in a lifetime experience in Colombia. It enabled us to see so much in a short space of time but in a way that never felt rushed. The hiking is intense, but very well paced, allowing time to enjoy nature and learn about the unique indigenous communities (directly from one of their members). The guides on both treks and Laura (who accompanied us throughout) were just incredible. So knowledgeable, passionate, patient and good fun. They absolutely made the trip.

Los Nevados is the most beautiful and interesting ecosystem I’ve ever experienced and the Tejuna (lost city) is fascinating. Be prepared to be sweaty but exhilarated! We would recommend extending your trip at either side of you can to adjust to the time zone/climate/altitude beforehand, rest a little afterwards, and have time to explore some of Colombia’s amazing cities too.

One tip is that you need to bring everything you’ll need for the humid, hot Tejuna (lost city) trek, but you can rent walking poles there and some of our list (waterproofs, walking poles etc) is available to borrow for the Los Nevados trek.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to see these incredible landscapes and learn about Colombian culture from insiders.

This was an amazing trip all round. Definitely challenging, with the contrast between the Andes and the jungle, but oh so worth it. Some of the most beautiful scenery I've seen, amazing people and places. The altitude and accommodation in the mountains, not going to lie, are a challenge, as are the heat and humidity in the jungle. But the group leader Dani was absolutely fantastic as were all the local guides, and I wouldn't have changed a single thing! The Lost City is truly magical and getting to learn about the indigenous culture was so special. If you're looking at this trip, honestly, just do it, you won't regret it!

A very memorable trip. Well orgainsed and great to visit some of the more unusual parts of Colombia. All the guides were excellent, so knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Especially Dani, who looked after us from start to finish and encouraged me through some of the tougher parts.

Fantastic trip. Superb Guides who were professional, friendly and their knowledge of the areas were excellent. Particular thanks to Dani who went out of his way to make the trip memorable and that nothing was too much trouble for him. The different regions visited were varied and very interesting. The trekking was challenging but well worth the effort and very rewarding with a sense of achievement. Colombia definitely worth visiting and will recommend to friends.

An excellent trip with the most amazing scenery throughout. Our host (guide) Dani was beyond amazing and solved any problems we encountered along the way, all he wanted was for us to have a great time as a group and we did. An extra day in Medellin before the trip and a few days after the lost city would be worth adding on to the trip is my personal opinion. The hiking was tough at times but manageable for all and correctly categorised. The accommodation in the Cocora valley was not the best but as there were no other options it did the job. Overall an amazing trip that I would thoroughly recommend to anyone. (I best add we had wall to wall sunshine for the duration of the trip which probably helped).

Fabulous trip that shows you 2 very different parts of this gorgeous country! Challenging hikes, great food and lots of interesting things to learn about the history & the people. I highly recommend this trip! It’s hard to pick a favorite part, but I would have to say seeing the lost city was a real thrill!

I’m glad I arrived in Medellin 2 days early as it gave me a chance to explore that city and its rich history before settling off to the 2nd day of the trip to a new location.

I would recommend this trip to anyone who is fit & resilient to enjoy the two challenging treks. The trip was absolutely incredible, with so many different environments and experiences. I want to go back to Colombia immediately!

Good trip

Fantastic trip

A trip with everything! I loved this trip because the itinerary was so varied, cities, mountains, jungle, lost city, river swims and beaches. You really get a taste of everything Columbia has to offer. But don’t underestimate Los Navados, it’s beautiful but the challenge is on! As there is no time to acclimatise, it’s a short high hike for the 3 days. The local guides were great, Danny really is your best friend in Columbia and I felt in great hands from the moment we arrived. The lost city was incredible and we were so lucky to learn so much around the place and the indigenous tribes that live there. A real privilege.

Simon and his team were fantastic and made for an exceptional trip. From stunning sceneries to heritage and culture, I would absolutely go on this trip again. High recommend.

Thank you to Simon, Laura and everyone at Kagumu for a brilliant trip. We were so well looked after from start to finish and packed in loads of walking and adventure. The local guides were excellent and taught us loads about the local cultures. Hosts took care of everything and I love their sustainable ethos. The two different treks showed off how beautiful and diverse Colombia is. I highly recommend this trip!

Colombia is a beautiful country with different landscapes, which this trek is united. Amazing experience. Great host. Simon and Laura were very supportive and helpful, were always there for us. Local guides on both treks helped to get the maximum of a great experience. It was a bit surprise for me, that Lost City trek was also very educatable, and not just a walk till the point. You can easily do it in 3 days, but 4 days trek was enjoyable, with breaks such as saving and refreshing swims in the river. Mountains trek was pretty challenging due to attitude and plenty of distance to cover, but it was great even with rain and mud. In the rain forest trekking was slightly easier.

A life-time experience. So good that my girlfriend and I got engaged whilst we were out there! Far from just a beautiful hike; a chance to explore and really delve deep into a gorgeously rich and diverse country through cities, peoples, ecosystems and history, culminating in the discovery of a magnificent ancient city and civilization as fascinating as the Incas and the Mayas. Your hosts and guides are extremely knowledgeable, some of them scientists and experts in their fields, and even a couple of indigenous guides no less! They are genuinely lovely and supportive as are the people we met on the trip. The whole trip is very well thought through and executed.

Two fantastic trekking tours and great experience of Colombian culture. A great organisation from start to finish.

I loved every minute of this adventure! I very much appreciated the emphasis on responsible and sustainable travel and the inclusion of native guides from whom we had the chance to learn about the country’s history and culture. Every detail was handled, leaving us nothing to worry about, including plenty of vegan options at every meal. We packed so much into our time together...this is definitely a trip I’ll never forget!

Brilliant trip. First half quite tough as getting to a high altitude quite quickly so you have to be fit but definitely worth doing. Columbia is amazing and never felt unsafe. Lost City trek the highlight. Highly recommend.

Incredible from start to finish. Brilliantly organised, with very knowledgeable local guides. Trekking through amazing surroundings with stunning vistas while also learning about indigenous cultures as well as the local flora and fauna. Could not recommend this trip more highly - huge thanks to Simon and Laura for organising and looking after us all!
