What people love about Hiking & Trekking Tours in Colombia
- 4 days Lost City Trek starting in Santa Marta
The tour is well organized, seamlessly. The guide is very knowledgeable and experienced. The cook Erica is excellent. It’s great there is an interpreter, who is kind caring and spiritual. Thank you!
- Lost City Trek & Cartagena 8 Days
We loved the entire Trek to the Lost City in Colombia, the range of sites, climates, topography, landscape and altitudes was immensely rewarding. The program was intense but not overly. Always something of interest, but with enough down-time. Very well planned, and the opportunity to see quite a lot of famous places on the western site in Colombia. Definitely we recommend you guys to everyone we know. I will contact you again if we decide to travel back to South America next year.
- Lost City Trek 4D/3N
I had a fantastic trip! I highly recommend you take this as it will change you. The guides and translators were most excellent and helpful and very professional. I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge and the experience esp the scenery. Thank you to this amazing community
What our customers ask about Hiking & Trekking Tours & Trips in Colombia
What are the best hiking trails in Colombia for various skill levels?
Colombia's hiking trails range from leisurely walks to challenging mountain expeditions. The Lost City Trek through Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta takes 4-5 days through jungle paths with moderate difficulty. Los Nevados National Park tests hikers with high-altitude routes that reach 5220m at Nevado de Tolima. Near Salento the Cocora Valley welcomes beginners with scenic day trails winding through distinctive wax palm forests. A TourRadar traveler noted: "The hiking routes were perfectly balanced for all experience levels from the gentle Cocora Valley walks to the more challenging Lost City Trek."
What is the best time of year for hiking in Colombia's different regions?
Each Colombian region has its prime hiking season. The Lost City Trek sees ideal conditions from December to March with dry but dusty trails. El Cocuy National Park welcomes hikers during the dry season from December to February offering clear views and accessible paths. Along the Caribbean coast including Tayrona National Park December through April provides the best hiking weather. TourRadar travelers note that "during rainy season (April-November) river crossings can be waist-high and trails muddy so proper gear is essential." The Lost City Trek closes annually in September for maintenance.
What cultural experiences can I expect on Colombian hiking tours?
Hiking tours in Colombia connect travelers with local communities and traditions. The Lost City Trek includes stops at Mutanzi village where visitors meet Kogi and Wiwa communities. El Cocuy introduces hikers to Andean culture and farming practices. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The indigenous guides Jose and Javier were both amazing giving a much more intimate tour than we would have otherwise." Tours often feature visits to archaeological sites local markets and demonstrations of traditional customs.
What kind of accommodation can I expect during multi-day treks in Colombia?
Accommodation on Colombian treks ranges from simple camps to upscale eco-lodges. The Lost City Trek provides hammocks or basic bunks at locations like Camp Adan and Lorenzo campsite. Tayrona National Park offers luxury stays at Ecohabs Tayrona. Los Nevados trekkers sleep in tents or basic mountain shelters. According to one TourRadar traveler: "The camping facilities were basic but clean and sleeping in hammocks under the stars at Lorenzo camp was an unforgettable experience."
How physically demanding are Colombia's multi-day treks?
The physical demands of Colombian treks vary significantly. Lost City Trek participants hike 4-6 hours each day climbing up to 1200m in humid weather. Los Nevados presents a greater challenge with trails reaching 5220m at Nevado de Tolima requiring daily climbs between 600-1100m. Time for altitude adjustment is crucial. A TourRadar traveler shares: "The Lost City Trek was challenging but achievable - you need good fitness but don't need to be an athlete."
How much does a typical multi-day hiking tour in Colombia cost?
Multi-day hiking tours in Colombia fit different budgets. The 4-day Lost City Trek starts at USD 800 covering meals guides and basic lodging. Combined tours like the 8-day Tayrona and Lost City package run from USD 1400 to 3000. Premium options with upgraded accommodations and extra activities reach USD 4000.
