Experience of a lifetime! Intense physical efforts to reach the lost city and to come back but we made it with a few blisters and sore muscles. The management... read more of the group by our guides Miguel and Coco was simply great! Arrival and organisation at the camp, stops for snacking during the days, meals (our cook Ana did good tasty meals), meeting with the Indians, etc all went very smoothly! Thanks Teyuna team

  It was one of my favorite experiences in Santa Marta. Our trek team was incredible, thoughtful and attentive. I’m not an experienced hiker, so I was a bit nervous but... read more I was always assured I was in good hands throughout the four days!

  Had an amazing trek with Teyuna Tours. Would highly recommend it. Our guide Carlos was excellent and his translator Enrique was very insightful and diligent. The whole booking process was... read more very smooth and the company provided hotel pick up service and a luggage storage facility.

  We had an absolutely amazing time on the 4 day hike. Lois was fantastic speaking to us in English and explaining about the history and nature of the areas we... read more passed through. The views were incredible and we were well looked after in terms of food and accommodation. Thank you and we will definitely be recommending this trip to friends and family.

The tour is very well organised with everything taking care off (food, snack, drinks, accommodation etc)

Luis our guide and Pecho his right hand were just lovely.
Luis has 15 years experience in doing the tour and he takes the time to share all his knowledges of all the surrounding.
They are super supportive We 100% recommend this experience with Luis.

  Loved every minute of it!! Thanks to Yeison and Niko, our guides and translators, I had the best trip ever. They were always kind and funny and could answer every... read more question. You could feel how passionate they are about the Trek, the Lost City itself and the indigenous tribes living in the Sierra Nevada. Everything was planned perfectly and the food (Thanks, Samuel) was amazing, a lot better than expected. All in all, I would recommend the Lost City Trek 100% to everyone who is into hiking!

  I had this wonderful experience with my friends. I thought it would have been beautiful, but didn’t believe so magical.
I’ve found a new family for those 4 days.
It... read more was great not only for the personal and intimate experience, but also for the staff. Pedro was our guide and we have loved him. Vinicio was great: so perfectly involved, so caring, very lovely.
I thank the whole team, for letting us living one of the most amazing experiences of my entire life.

  Above the fact that La Cuidad Perdida is an absolute must while visiting Colombia, choosing Teyuna Tours has been a great decision.
Everything happend extremely smoothly, swiftly and professionally... read more from the fist contact, all the informations they sent over to me, the booking and, finally, the tour itself.
I picked the 4 days/3 nights trip which was really ideal for me.
Everyone can hike at his/her own pace and it is absolutely suitable for "normal Sunday hickers".

Once back in Santa Marta, I booked a one day trip to Tayrona NP, which was equally well organised and on the spot.

I would totally recommand this agency and all its professional travel specialists.

  Lost City Teyuna Tours was an unforgettable adventure! Byron and Tato were exceptional guides - knowledgeable, friendly, and always ready to help. Their passion for the region and its history... read more made the trek even more special. The entire experience was well-organized, and I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an authentic and enriching journey.

  Me and my friends visited the ciudad perdida with Tejuna tours. At first it looked quite expensive, but the price is fixed (so every other organisation gives you the same... read more price, it was + - €100/ day). We did the four day tour ( three nights). Like I already wrote, it looked expensive, but it was totally worth. The landscapes are totally worth it and the ciudad perdida is such a peaceful and beautiful place to be. We had super nice guides (Pedro was very kind en took care of the people who walked a bit slower, Josef stayed more with the fast people and was just a really funny guy). We also got a translator (Vinicius), he was super kind and helped us a lot during the hikes, he played music on a special kind of flute which gave the cuidad perdida an even more authentic and magical atmosphere. His english was very good and he talked with everyone and answered all the questions you had. You sleep in very basic hostels, but there is also a shower. The food was also basic not bad at all. A little notice is that the walk was a bit harder than a expected, you need to climb a lot and walk on unpaved roads. Somethimes you need to cross very small rivers, but if it rains it can be quite deep, so I suggest that you wear good walking shoes or boots and are not in a too bad shape. Once you reach the Ciudad Perdida, it makes all the efforts that you put in the hike worth it, if you are in Colombia I would really advise you to do this tour, it was one of most amazing things I ever saw in my life.

  Great experience hiking the lost city. Guides were friendly, very informative, great at motivating everyone during the hike and keeping spirits high. The food was great - lots of it.... read more Highly recommend this tour - it is not for profit (a local community association) whereas all other providers are for profit companies.

  100% recommend Teyuna if you want to do the Lost City trek! We chose this company because they are the only one owned by local guides and this intimate knowledge... read more of and connection with the landscape really shone through throughout the tour. The guides shared not only important information about the site's history and culture, but also their personal stories of the area which made the experience so much more fulfilling. Only thing I'd say is to make sure you bring a water filter as even the filtered water at the campsites caused some issues for people in our group - part of the challenge of hiking in such a secluded place! Huge thanks to Pedro, Sebastian, Ramon, Jhon and the team for a great few days.

  One of the best experiences I have had in Colombia after 5 years of living in the country!

The planning, local/indigenous/historical knowledge, travel logistics, and guidance of Teyuna... read more Tours in the trek to the Lost City is perfect!

Thank you so much to our local guide Ruth, assistant guide Ramón, translator Andre, and chef Alberto - you are the best team!

If you are planning on trekking to the Lost City - Teyuna Tours is 100% the best option

  Four days with Teyuna Tours is four days well spent. The trek is well organised, the food is plentiful and delicious, the accommodation is comfortable and clean. Thanks to Ruth,... read more Ani, Sebas and Chef Patricia for helping to create memories that will last a lifetime!

  The tour takes you around beautiful places. You do need stamina to complete and don’t take too much luggage.

The teyuna organisation was incredible. The guides were super friendly,... read more the food was good. They were especially helpful because they brought us straight to Minca afterwards. Highly recommended!

  Went on the Lost City trek with my teenage son. Very well organised. Great guide, translator and cook. Group seemed to be a little more mature than... read more some of the others we encountered. Professional outfit and would recommend.

  This was a very special adventure and surpassed my expectations in every way! Teyuna were a terrific tour company. Everything was taken care of, from food to lodging along the... read more route. The guides were fantastic! Friendly, fun and helpful in every way, with great English translation. The stops and tours along the way were also great, visiting the local indigenous tribes and learning about there way of life. Ciudad Perdida was worth the trek. Such an impressive site, with only a small percentage of it exposed.
I would recommend this tour and tour company to everyone.

  Fantastic four days for the Ciudad Perdida. Our guide, Pedro, and translator Victor were excellent. They were very knowledge and met all of the needs in our group. The food... read more was great, and we certainly never went hungry! I highly recommend Teyuna Tours for this trek.

  The crew was amazing, they go out of their way to please everyone in every way. The food definitely outstanding, very delicious typical Colombian food. The scenery just gorgeous and... read more Ciudad Perdida (Lost City) speechless, it is so beautiful that I have no words to describe it. Highly recommended.

  Amazing! highly recommended experience. Memorable. Well organized. The guide and the translator are quite knowledgable, friendly, and supportive.

  This was my first multi-day hike with my 13 and 11 year-old sons. I was concerned about the hike being too difficult for them, but both did great. In total,... read more we were a group of 8 people of different ages and endurance. Teyuna provided 2 guides and a translator so we were all supported at all times. Everyone took its own pace and made it.

It is difficult to describe in words the beauty of the hike..the mountains, the river, the rain, the trail's ups and downs, while witnessing the daily lives of indigenous groups is something that will stick with us the rest of our lives.

Teyuna tours is a travel agency owned by community members from the Sierra Nevada that are well coordinated with the indigenous groups inside the park. Because of this, they know the terrain as no one else and you can see the love they feel for their land. None of the more traditional/commercial agencies can offer that.

The food was basic but very tasty and in the amount you need after many hours of hiking. The accommodations were rustic but clean and provided with mosquito nets. Teyuna guides were always looking out for us to ensure we had the best service and experience.

Whether you are living or visiting Colombia or if you need something to change your life, this is one of the best experiences you will have in your lifetime.

  Excelente food, fresh fruit at every stop, excellent service and lodging, beds were comfortable, easy to work with, I greatly recommend them.

  My husband and I joined the 4 day, 3 night trek to Ciudad Perdida out of Santa Marta in July. Our group was about 12-16 people, from all over the... read more world. It's several hours drive to get there, including a bumpy but gorgeous ride up into the mountains, and then a half day of hiking to first night's camp. Three full days of hiking up steep terrain and through forests thereafter. Spectacular views. We are older, but active hikers and we were able to manage the distance at our own pace. Summer 2023 was one of the hottest on record. Be prepared with water, sunscreen mosquito repellent and a hat. You can rent hiking poles if you don't have your own - very helpful. You spend the nights in mosquito-net covered bunk beds at a camp, happily alongside a river each night where you can swim to cool down after a hot day's hike. (Bring flip flops for your wet, tired feet at night!) The crew is amazing. They are very helpful, and keep you hydrated and well-fed, including fruit stops every two hours during the hot days. Our guide, Hernan, was incredibly knowledgable and passionate about the the Teyuna people and shared their history with us. The cost of the tour supports the indigenous people who live in the region. I found the visit to Ciudad Perdida itself quite moving. We arrived on a glorious, sunny morning and it's unfathomable how the Teyuna people could have found this remote place and built a thriving community there. Absolutely worth the trip, and I definitely recommend Teyuna Tours for their professionalism and knowledge and interesting conversations throughout.

  Our experience with teyuna tours was amazing. Guides are very responsible and professionals, misael, nico and Jenny (our cooker) we’re very friendly and polities. 100% recommended

  We had the most incredible time ever trekking to the lost city with Teyuna tours. Our guide and translator Pipe and George were amazing and were so generous in sharing... read more their wisdom, good energy and knowledge with us. The trek was tough but we were always made to feel super comfortable going at our own pace - and the experience of reaching the lost city was like no other! The mountains are very magical - and made even more special by our guides who shared stories along the way and were so encouraging to us. The whole trek was very well run and we were so suprised to be given so many snacks and fab food prepared by Jonathan our chef! We can’t thank this team enough and hope to return some day for another adventure. We have left the trek with full hearts!

  The trip to the lost city was amazing! Is a hard trekking but worth the effort. We had two amazing guides (Pedro and Ender) and one incredible translator (Nico). The... read more tour was well organized, super confortable for such inhospitable place and a wonder everyone should experience.

The reward for reaching the Lost City was awesome.

  These guys simply saved our last day in S. Marta! After we lost approx. one hour to wait for and finally have contact with a competitor, who did not show... read more up at the meeting point at the scheduled time, around 10:15 am we went to Teyuna’s offices to see if it was somehow still possible to book for the very same day a visit to the Minca coffe & cocoa area, as they also offer this excursion. Well, to our amazement, the staff was able to organize on the fly, thru their network, a catch-up by taxi for us to join their group who obviously had already left. Many thanks and kudos for the excellent service which gave us the opportunity to enjoy this beautifully organized visit. BTW they offer many tours at interesting prices and are located on Carretera 1, 18-24 on the sea front.

  Ciudad Perdida is a unique adventure! I highly encourage to do it at least once in a lifetime. The tour itself can be strenuous but so rewarding once you get... read more there. Each one of the guides are very knowledgeable and attentive to help out on anything you need. I actually looked into several tours and was extremely happy that I chose Teyuna to go on this amazing adventure. The food was really good, you are also provided fruit on the way. As an FYI bring cash so you can buy water or snacks on the way. I definitely recommend to book this fantastic tour with Tetuya you wont be disappointed. Thank you all for making this a life chaning experience.

  Teyuna tours and the Lost city trail in general are certainly worth it. The 5 day hike in combination with the waterfalls is a nice addition to the trail. Very... read more friendly and helpful guides. They can pick you up from your hostel and drop you off at the airport if you want!

  We had the most magical experience with Ruth our guide. She grew up in the area, knows everything and really made everything perfect for us!

  Yason and his team did a great job. I always felt comfortable and safe. The food was delicious, the hike challenging but definitely worth it. Thank you!

  The leader and co leader are caring, knowledgeable, dependable.
Before the trekking, they explain the details about the trail, porter, weather....And their suggestion about hiring porter for our own... read more good in the hot and humid weather.
The cook is timely. Meals are ready just we got there few minutes after. The balance of meals is just fine for me
I strongly recommend this Teynua Tours!

  If you find yourself in Santa Marta and decide to do the Lost City Trek, you don't need to look for another office. This is the one! While all offices... read more actually offer exactly the same program, services and price, the difference is made by the people/guides and staff themselves. We couldn't have picked anything better!
From the point of sale in the office to the execution of the field trip everything was perfectly organized.
A big thanks to the whole team who undertook to lead us to the magical "lost city", Ruth, Andres, Carlos, Anjel, but also everyone else whose name we forgot. Guides, translators, assistants, cooks, always smiling, willing, available but also attentive to every detail from the technical part, cultural and historical information, food and sleep.
It's a must-do excursion for anyone walking in Colombia. There unfolds all the magic and mystery of a culture that is in danger of being lost due to the threat of capitalism.
Don't get lost in the choice, the Teyona office will guide you safely through the difficult paths of the lost city!

  Very well run operation. 4 guides/cooks looking after 15 hikers and they were all amazingly attentive and efficient. They really made us a family over the 4 days. Amazing meals... read more and snacks along the way to keep you going when the hiking got tough! Special shout out to Dary and Pepe who were fantastic guides and Juan Pablo for the delicious food.

  We had al amazing group with amazing guides. Even if it was
A bit busy on the road it was well organized. What I liked in particular was that we... read more could walk in different speeds based on our abilities. This made it even greater. My tip: take the 5 days. It costs the same, adds an extra day in the jungle (with beautiful waterfalls on the last days) and it is in a smaller group (for the las two days). I would do it again !

  A big thank you and congratulations to Baron, Misael and Pecho who were our incredibles guides! their good humor and willingness to share their story with us made this trek... read more special. Food, landscapes, all were worth it 🙂

  It was amazing! The route was beautiful, Ciudad Perdida was beautiful, everything was astonishing. It is not an easy trek, but that makes it just more fun and... read more worth doing it 🙂
The instructions and checklist provided by Teyuna in advance were complete and useful.
Ruth and Adrian were awesome at guiding us and taking care of us. They were patient and friendly, they didn’t kept a nice pace to adapt to the physical condition of all the members of the group, they were making sure we had enough of the great food offered.
I’d do this again if I have the chance.

One remark I have for Teyuna is that they should take better care of their staff. I heard from our guides that normally they start one 4-day trek just the day after they have finished another one. I think that’s too tiresome, they should be allowed to have at least one day of rest.

Another remark is about the cleaning. In the last camp, I found a condom next to my pillow (it was not used nor open, don’t freak out. It was still packed, but anyway, it’s disgusting). A more careful look when arranging things would help prevent these things. It made me doubt if the bedsheets were really washed, but Ruth assured me that they wash everything. It looked clean so I guess it was not a big deal, but please, don’t let that happen again to anyone. It’s gross.

  An amazing experience made so special by our guides Byron, Misael and Pecho! We were really well taken care of with great food, accommodation and experiences. Their knowledge and personal... read more stories relating to the region made it all the more special! 10/10

  Th hike at La Teyuna with our guide Tigre, our translator Nico, chef Deivi and the rest of the team was honestly unforgettable! We spent 4 days learning everything about... read more the tribes, their traditions, the history and the forest! Nico was a super fun, knowledgable guide who shared his experiences and all knowledge with us and also made sure we had a great time! I’m usually not into hikes, but hiking at Teyuna was the highlight of my trip! An experience that really made me feel alive!
