My Girlfriend and I came back from the lost city trek a couple of days ago, and what can I say? AMAZING¡¡¡. This is not the hardest one but not the easiest either, We are amazed the way the Expotur guides made their job, they are so professional and most friendly people we've ever met. This is also called the... More

This is a very beautiful trek through rivers, hills, forests and valleys. The landscape is very green and the hills are full of life, covered from top to bottom with thousands of trees and plants - wonderful! The views from the Lost City itself are stunning and for me this was the highlight. At the time of writing, the trek... More

I just came back from this trek with Magic Tours. I don't have anything new to add other than there was a woman in my group who had a bite on her leg from back home. Her leg got worse during the trek and after we returned to the starting point, Magic tours took her to a hospital (apparently the... More

I went on this trek with MagicTour and they were great! I did the 5 day hike with them and our guides Pedro and Jorge make it a wonderful experience. I'm not a great hiker so was often one of the last in our group, however our guide was always waiting at the hard or confusing parts to make sure... More

We took a tour (organised through adventure Columbia) with magic tours to cuidad perdida. What can I say except they were absolutely excellent! There was originally 8 in our group, but 2 soon peeled off to do a 4 day tour rather than 5 - this was no problem and another guide took them ahead of us. Our guide, Nicholas,... More

We went on the 5 day hike, if you are in shape and good at hiking the 4 day is would be possible, or if you cheap and want an extra days lodging and food out of it take the 6 day they all cost the same and you can still change your mind on the trail. We booked with... More

Although many say it is pricey the 5 or 6 day option is well worth it. There is a bit of challenging hiking mixed with relaxation and time to swim in the river, followed by the discovery of the Lost City hidden in the forests of Colombia. The food was great- plenty of it and lots of fresh fruit! The... More

Finally we decided it was about time for my colombian family and I to visit those beautiful ruins. We have already visited San Agustin and Tierradentro but this trip was totally different. Extremelly challeging but my proud parents (55 yro) managed the trip. If you love the rainforest, walking through rivers and climbing, and you don't care being sweat at... More

I just returned from the 5 day trek with Magic Tours and it was fabulous! We actually merged with hikers from Turcol, so the group ended up being 11 people but we had two fantastic guides. Nicolas from Magic Tours and Elvert (El Indio) from Turcol. They are both amazing and I highly recommend them if you are going on... More
