Last edited: The Lost City is a sacred site for the region's indigenous people and forms part of their reservation in the Sierra Nevada. Thit is the only indigenous owned agency in town and the only agency that will take you to the Lost City with indigenous guides. }} Note that helicopter tours were outlawed in 2010 after studies demonstrated that the helicopter landings were causing site deterioration.

Typical itinerary

The whole trek is 44 km long. It is offered as a 4-, 5- and 6-days tour. All of them have approx. three hours at the archeological site itself.

If taking the 5 days (4 nights) variant and the trekking times per day are approx. 4½ hr, 8½ hr, 2 hr, 4½ hr, 4½ hr.

What to See

• During the trek you will pass many little streams and waterfalls, some of which you can swim in, and which have great views. There are several steep uphill climbs (the worst one takes about an hour on the first day), but it is worth it. Overall, because of afternoon rains, you only hike for about 3–4 hours per day (depending on the duration - you will walk more per day on the 4-day trek).
• Although the community atmosphere while walking is great, it is also fun to spend an hour or so away from the group while trekking to see more wildlife, particularly on the 3rd day.
• During the trek you will also cross many indiginous in their typical white dress.

• You will end up playing cards a lot during rest periods; it gets dark quite quickly and while the thought of walking in the jungle sounds good, you will be knackered. Plus, it's not a great idea to go wandering about at night outside of the camps.
• In addition to playing cards, make sure to bring a book and some kind of reading light for the downtime each day and night.
• Take advantage of opportunities to swim when you can! But as soon as it starts to rain, get out and get uphill—you are about to witness a tropical flash flood.
• As much as you might want to just put your head down and keep walking, take the opportunity to watch for wildlife or take in the amazing scenery.

Shopping in Ciudad Perdida de Teyuna

In addition to the occasional organic juice or Gatorade purchasing possibility listed below, you can bring a bit of extra cash to negotiate for random items from people you meet. It is illegal—despite difficulty of enforcement—for non-military personnel to have in their possession official Colombian military uniforms or equipment.

If you want to get a photo with the soldiers in the city itself then a small present will get you all the time in the world with them. Think about what a young boy trapped in the jungle for 8 weeks would like, think sweets and magazines with plenty of pictures.

Muslim Friendly Hotels

Hammocks with mosquito net - Hammocks with mosquito net

Sleeping space is either in hammocks strung out under a communal shelter, or in small bunkbeds under netting. Some cabañas even have tents so you can snuggle with another trekker. Blankets are provided if you ask; it's worth asking for one even if the evening is warm as it can get very cold at the higher altitudes.

Cope in Ciudad Perdida de Teyuna

Showers are available at the camps along the way (but lingering in the rivers during crossings makes for a good rinse in the meantime). Just be aware that remaining dripping wet for extended periods in an already humid environment can lead to fungal infections and just generally smelling bad, so it is good to dry off completely after swimming, showering, etc.

Bring at least one full bottle of bug spray and at least one pair of long pants and one long-sleeved shirt to protect yourself from the swarms during rest periods and breaks. Mosquitoes and biting flies are a constant nuisance, especially when you are resting or stopped at camp - when you are actually hiking and moving the problem is much less severe. Bring more bugspray than sunscreen, as often you will be hiking with substantial tree cover.

For each piece of electronic equipment you choose to bring (cell phone, camera, iPod, etc.), purchase a waterproof, crushproof drybox.

Footwear - an absolute must is a pair of quick-drying, teva-like sandals for river crossings. The actual hiking can be done with hiking boots, hiking shoes, or tennis shoes. For most people hiking boots are advisable as the terrain can be extremely rocky, muddy, and most important - slippery. Probably the most important consideration is to bring a pair of shoes that have a strong grip and are well broken in.

Also bring dry clothes to change into at night - during the rainy season, you should expect to be totally soaked by the afternoon rain. A rain cape covering you and your backpack is also a good idea.

Be warned that many Muslim - sometimes 80% of a group - get sick with stomach problems, diarrhoea and/or vomiting due to hygienic problems. Bring your own water purification pills, hand disinfectant and medication and maybe leave the salad aside to reduce your risk!
