Amazing hike, great team, very good food all along
We loved it!!! We wanna say especially thankyou to David our tourguide. He was incredible. If you have him, you are gonna have a wonderfull time!
The 4 days of this trek to the Lost City were intense – scorching heat, high humidity, long hours of walking, and some absolutely gruelling climbs. But what a blast!! We passed through stunning landscapes, learnt a wealth of information about indigenous cultures and the region’s history – both ancient and modern – and met some incredible people (including Mamo Romaldo!). All this as part of a brilliant group, where the atmosphere was fantastic. Thank you to Expotur for organising this trip so impeccably. And a special shout out to our guide Nelson, our translator Ariel and our cook Camila, for ensuring that we didn’t lack anything and that we made the most of these four days. Your professionalism, enthusiasm, kindness and helpfulness will also remain among the best memories of this adventure!
horrible; liars and crooks that only want to take your money and racially discriminate against you.. i was almost raped as a woman as well.. STAY AWAY from here....! NOT TO MENTION THE BEDBUGS THAT WILL COMPLETELY MURDER YOU!!!!!
The trip to the Lost City was an incredible experience. Our guide, Nelson, was not only extremely knowledgeable but also had a strong connection with the local communities, which allowed us to gain a much deeper understanding of the area's history, culture, and way of life. Both Nelson and our translator, Ariel, were always willing to answer all of our questions and were incredibly patient with everyone in the group. Whether you were struggling during the more challenging sections of the hike or wanted to push yourself and hike at a faster pace, they adapted to everyone's needs. This made the group dynamic feel very comfortable, allowing each person to enjoy the trek at their own pace. If you're thinking about doing the Lost City trek, I highly recommend choosing this company, especially if you're looking for an experience where you can learn about the local culture, challenge yourself physically, and discover an amazing part of Colombia.
Nelson and Arial were amazing guides, great experience!
We had a lovely time during our lost cities track! Our tourguides Hebert and Sara truely made it the best, because of their enthousiasm and great stories about the region and culture. Besides that our chef Pastora made sure that we had a good meal after a long day of hiking!
A must do in Colombia. Beautiful places and an excellent experience.
I had an amazing experience with Expotur! Our guide Omar knew a lot and was very funny, and our translator Pilar was also amazing!!
