Asked on May 29th, 2023We are interested in booking this hike. But we have one question: we are travelling with large luggage to colombia and would like to know if our luggage will be transported during the hike or if we can store it during our hike somewhere?

Asked on March 12th, 2023Can you tell me the activity level of the trek and also if there are other solo travelers in the group ? What's the age range of people who booked ?
- Bamba TravelOperator•Written March 2023
If you exercise regularly and enjoy nature, then the path to the Lost City is an exceptional experience that you should add to your list of adventures. For those concerned about their physical condition, most days consist of about 7-8 kilometers trekking through challenging trails that are often steep, slippery and muddy, including forging the Buritaca River. During the dry season, the water may be knee high while water levels may increase to chest-height with strong currents during the rainy season. We recommend bringing a reliable pair of trekking shoes.
- Bamba TravelOperator•Written March 2023
For the date requested we have a group of 6 people confirmed. 4 are traveling together and a couple.
