Amazing tour
We had a great 4 day trip to the lost city with guide Miguel and cook Ricardo. The views were amazing and we had the chance to meet local people. There are also stops where you cab swim in the river and near waterfalls.

Four days that will stay in my heart forever!
The trek to the Lost City was the main reason for my trip to Colombia, and it turned out to be even more meaningful than I expected. Walking through the Sierra Nevada for four days is not just a hike — it’s an experience that slowly pulls you away from the rhythm of everyday life. The jungle, the rivers, the mountains and the silence of the surroundings make you feel completely immersed in nature. Reaching the Lost City at the end feels incredibly special and rewarding. The team from eConnection played a huge role in making the journey so positive. The guides were always attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable, sharing stories about the history of the site, the local communities and the natural environment along the way. Their presence made the trek feel safe, well organized and much more enriching than simply walking a trail. Another big highlight was the food, which was surprisingly good for such a remote trek. The cooks prepared generous and tasty meals every day, something you truly appreciate after hours of hiking. The accommodation along the route was also better than expected. It’s definitely a physically demanding trek, but with a supportive team and such an incredible environment around you, it becomes an unforgettable experience that I would highly recommend.

4 days Ciudad perdida
Had a great trek to the Ciudad perdida with econnections. The guides (Pedro and Vasilio) were excellent, well-prepared, kind and knowledgeable. The relatively small group size was great to make connections and learn about the history of the area. Can definitely recommend!

An unforgettable journey to the Lost City with an incredible team
Reaching the Lost City was much more than a trek; it was a true adventure and, in many ways, an inner journey. From the first day we felt accompanied, cared for, and very well guided. The entire team made the experience smooth and memorable, even during the most demanding parts of the trail. I want to highlight especially our guide Duleidis Larios, who was an incredible support throughout the trek. She was always attentive, clear with information, and very human in her approach. During the toughest moments she gave us encouragement and made sure everyone felt safe and supported at every stage of the journey. A special mention also goes to Leidy, who cooked for us every day. The food was absolutely delicious and clearly prepared with care. After long days of hiking, having such thoughtful and tasty meals made a big difference and helped us keep the energy to continue. The landscape along the route is simply spectacular. As you enter indigenous territory, you gradually leave behind the noise of the city and begin to appreciate a simpler way of living that is deeply connected with nature. It is one of those places that you don’t just visit—you truly feel it. I would also like to thank Gabo, who shared with us the richness of his culture and the deep love he has for this land. Listening to him added a meaningful cultural dimension to the whole experience. The trek is demanding, but with a dedicated and caring team like this it becomes even more special and rewarding. I return home with unforgettable memories and a strong desire to come back someday. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a real adventure in Colombia.

4 days trekking to The LOST CITY
I done 4 days trekking to The LOST CITY - Perdida Ciudad, which was my main reason for visiting Colombia 🇨🇴. I didn't get disappointed. It has been a real adventure, but as well an inner journey. Our wonderful guides: GABO and MARCO, took care of us. Massive GRACIAS to them !!!😁💛 So much knowledge of the history, cultural context, local communities, birds, nature. Their amazing stories connected us with the spirituality of the place and people who inhabit it. The landscape is just indescribable!!! The food during the 4 days was delicious. Accommodation was much better than I expected. Trekking is definitely demanding, so prepare well for it. I definitely recommend this experience!!!

Why this scores 83
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lost City Trek 4 Days | Jungle Trek | Ciudad Perdida Teyuna: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Santa Marta.
How much does Lost City Trek 4 Days | Jungle Trek | Ciudad Perdida Teyuna cost?
+
Prices start at $580 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Santa Marta usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lost City Trek 4 Days | Jungle Trek | Ciudad Perdida Teyuna take?
+
Plan for about 96 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Santa Marta is not rushed.
Is Lost City Trek 4 Days | Jungle Trek | Ciudad Perdida Teyuna worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 43 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Santa Marta, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lost City Trek 4 Days | Jungle Trek | Ciudad Perdida Teyuna?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lost City Trek 4 Days | Jungle Trek | Ciudad Perdida Teyuna suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 96-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lost City Trek 4 Days | Jungle Trek | Ciudad Perdida Teyuna?
+
Around 15 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Santa Marta can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Santa Marta and add a light layer if any part of the 96-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lost City Trek 4 Days | Jungle Trek | Ciudad Perdida Teyuna start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Santa Marta within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Santa Marta?
+
On Outty we rank every Santa Marta experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Hike for 4 days to the Lost City, Santa Marta, 4-Day Lost City Small-Group Tour in Santa Marta, 4-Day Walking Tour to Lost City of Sierra Nevada. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Santa Marta?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Santa Marta?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
