Ciudad Perdida Teyuna

  Had an amazing time, 100% recommend!!! Special shout out to Chalo (English translator) and Beto (our guide). An experience we will never forget

  We have participated to 4 days lost city trek and from the company owner Carlos, to junior guide Andres, from the cook to the translator Enrique, all the staff was... read more amazing, they did their best to accomodate us to the maximum, they never hesitated to help us with anything we may need. They provided perfect info about the history and the locals. The accomodation was comfy, food was great.As a person that visited Machu Pichu and Kilimanjaro, i can say that Teyuna Tours is was beyond the standard of a long trekking tour. Carlos is one of the oldes tour guide exists in that area and he is very respected by the locals, I would definitely reccomend them!

  Cannot recommend our guide, Tatiana, translator Nicolas and our cook Sandra enough. The service they provided was incredible it truly added to such an incredible experience.

It was... read more very evident that Teyuna tours went beyond the other groups as they gave us special "surprises" that were very thoughtful. For starters, they gave us a complimentary day bag which was very useful for the hike up to the lost city. They were also very considerate as they organized talks some of the indigenous chiefs of the region, an activity that the other tours did not get to do.

They were extremely accommodating to whatever we asked for, and made sure to not leave anyone behind (someone always accompanied the slowest hiker).

10/10

  I can't recommend Teyuna Tours enough. A special thank you to Jason, Indio (Fabian) and Alberto for taking such great care for us all. It was an experience I will... read more never forget.

  So good! Excellent care and attention was put into this tour. Yeison and Indio were such kind, engaged and supportive guides while Alberto kept our group well fed with awesome... read more food, all with service and quality beyond my expectations. The trek is tough but rewarding!

  Absolutely magic experience. Jeison, Fabian and Alberto were so attentive, accommodating, knowledgeable and extremely professional while still loads of fun. The trek is not easy, but extremely doable in 4... read more days. Highly recommend!

  Anna and I hiked the lost city trek with Teyuna Tours. It was an amazing experience to be out there in nature for four days and meet local & indigenious... read more people that could tell everything about the region and their culture. Special thanks to our guides: Christian, Pipe and Kayla. They made our experience unforgettable.

Hugo & Anna

  Great experience, the rivers and waterfalls you have close to the camps are great, especially after hiking in the heat for hours & the nature around you and obviously the... read more lost city itself are definitely worth it! The organisation was good, due to high season the beds were a bit spare but everyone had a good place to sleep in the end, and the food was also great. Just don't forget a good repellent! Our guide tato was from there and had some really good and interesting stories to tell, definitely recommend

  Best tour operator ever to get to the Lost City!

Señor Carlos is a living legend and Jhon with his 22 years of experience has also a lot to... read more share with you. The cook Carlos was great too and Aldair the translator was super helpful and friendly! During the trekking they were incredibly supportive and always tried to make the trek as manageable as possible to have the best experience out of it. Moreover they did everything to make us reach to lost city as the first group in the morning.

However, the office could be more attentive and helpful, especially with responding to emails, because repeatedly our questions didn’t get answered.

Summing up, I strongly recommend you to book Lost City Tour with this agency!

  Teyuna Tours is an excellent tour operator, I would highly recommend them to anyone that’s interested in experiencing this amazing trek. Every member of the Teyuna team was incredible, from... read more our knowledgeable and friendly guide Tatiana, our hilarious translator Cristian, and our skillful chef Deivis. Everyone was very professional and respectful to the indigenous tribes customs and made sure that we all had a great time both on and off the trail.

  Fantastic experience! The hike was more difficult than I was expecting, but absolutely worth it. Our guided, Luis and Pecho, were absolutely amazing and made the experience so much better.... read more The food was delicious, views were incredible. Highly recommended!

  All the guides, chefs and translators were amazing and went the extra mile to give us the best experience on our journey to the lost city.

Our group had... read more 3 guides (Yeison, Jonathan, Auxiliar a.k.a. Costeño) and 1 guide/translator (Fabian a.k.a. El Indio).The guides would divide themselves amongst the group so in case there would be a split in the group no one would be alone without a guide. We had plenty of stops to regroup and reenergize with watermelons or other fruits. During the trip our guides would tell us interesting stories about the landscape, the indigenous people, the culture and about the lost city ofcourseee!
During all of the stops we’d have the chance to swim in the river and our guides would go the extra mile in showing us some unique places where other tour groups didn’t go, and it was definitely worth it!

Also the story telling skills from Yeison and Fabian are unmatched and a pleasure to listen to! They really pull you in and captivate you all the way!

Ofcourse there are some behind the seen staff that we wouldn’t see that often, but they did an amazing job too!
Obviously I’m talking about the chefs, and the meals prepared by the chefs Jonathan and Juan Pablo were delicious! Probably the best we’ve eaten in Colombia hands down!

So if you’d like an unforgettable experience with an amazing tour group I’d definitely advise a tour with Teyuna!

Extra:
Teyuna was very wel prepared for our trip.
They were on top of the timings for leaving camp or for restarting our walks after our breaks so we could reach our destinations on time to do whatever we wanted during our trip.

Plus they were very thoughtful about us and other tour groups. Due to an unfortunate landslide one of the two camps near the lost city was destroyed which meant everyone had to sleep in one camp opposed to splitting across two camps. Instead of “fighting”/discussing about bed allocations, Teyuna decided to bring tents and take minimal amount of beds to alleviate this pressure on the camp in the hope to be able to allocate everyone from our group and other groups (something no other group did!). And they have communicated this properly from the very start so we weren’t surprised by the commotion for bed allocation.

  If you plan on going to La Ciudad Perdida, make sure you go with Teyuna Tours! From pickup, through three incredible meals per day plus fruit treats when one thought... read more one might die from the trail and heat; to the gorgeous places we went; to the exceptional, fun, and helpful guides Tato and Luz, and translator Indio, el Cocinero and his cooks, everyone else associated with the company, from booking to dropoff; NOTHING could be better. The accommodation organised through Teyuna by the indiginas (always at a river, usually with a waterfall or ten) was CLEAN, with fresh sheets and polar fleeces (from Teyuna) and showers--and did I mention the AMAZING food? As an equine veterinarian, I was appalled at the care of many of the mules used on the trail, but most of those used by the Teyuna company, as far as I saw, were well cared for, well-packed and happy. The dogs hanging around were very cool and loved the treats.
I managed to pull some muscles on the first day... not ideal... but Tato and Luz were past awesome. They respected (many times) my decision to go on without a mule or motorcycle, and supported me. SO appreciate it. it was MEJOR by the end, eh Tato?. 🙂 Thanks Tato, Luz, Indio, and the rest of the amazing crew.

The group of participants was the most prepared... in their attitudes, willingness to support each other, in their hearts.... group with which I´ve ever trekked, and we´ve maintained contact afterwards. Jose lent me his walking sticks, and won´t take them back... amazing friendships developed with so many! Thanks to Tato for organising the us! Love to you all from NZ!

  The trip was amazing, although tough hiking in places! The tour was very well organised with regular food and water stops and plenty of time to enjoy the various waterfalls... read more and rivers.

Tato (guide), Diego (translator) and Kenith were exceptional. Tato had great connections with the indigenous people so we got to meet the Saga.

The three allowed the group to seperate on the trek so we could walk at our own pace but we always had one of them with us, so felt safe.

The trek itself was beautiful and the Ciudad Perdida was great. We had plenty of time up there to take (a lot of!) photos and it was not busy at all. The best trek we've ever done!

  We had a fantastic time with Lucho and his team Patricia and Jeison. The trek is well organised and Lucho is a great tourist guide who is always kind and... read more looking out for everyone. I definitely recommend this experience with Teyuna tours!

  We experienced a very good Guide Tatiana, the friendly traductor Luis and were surprised with Josés good food. The tour is well organised and also liked the staff. Ciudad Perdida... read more is a magic place and the long way to it a spectacular path.

  We spent four wonderful days hiking through the beautiful Sierra Nevada with Luis (guide), Pecho (assistant guide) and Patricia (cook). We were made to feel special from the outset. Luis... read more was very knowledgable and provided us with lots of information about the area and the indigenous people living there. He was very encouraging throughout the hike and we really enjoyed his company. Pecho (mi amor) was so much fun to have on the trek, he kept us entertained and made sure we were always first to reach camp. Patricia’s cooking was fantastic. She prepared a wide range of meals for us over the course of the trek. Each meal was delicious. I couldn’t recommend Teyuna tours and our team more, an unforgettable experience! P.S bring lots of mosquito repellant !

  We had a great experience with Teyuna Tours on the 4 day Lost City Trek. From start to finish everything was well organised and ran smoothly.
Ruth Mery and... read more Marcos were a great guide/translatator combo who took the time to share their extensive knowledge of the area, archaeological site and local communities.
The food prepared by Jonathan kept us well nourished each morning and evening and there were plenty of snacks along the way.

  Highly recommend these guys for the four-day trek! Luis was extremely knowledgeable about the trail and local area. He and his team took so much extra care to ensure we... read more had the best experience. The food is great, the experience feels safe and fun, and although it’s a tough hike, the guides make sure everyone is able to go safely at their own pace. Local indigenous culture is treated with respect, and Luis taught us a lot of extra info about the history of the lost city that isn’t available online. FYI this is the tour group used if you book via Get Your Guide but you can also book directly

  The Lost City Trek with Teyuna was fabulous, we really couldn't have asked for more. Both our guide (Ruth Mery) and translator (Marco) were incredibly knowledgable and connected to the... read more area as well as the people we encountered along the trail. They were able compliment their personal experiences with a deep knowledge of the history of the lost city which they openly shared with us too.
The trek itself can be tough in parts, but they were very good at setting expectations and pacing us.

  Let me tell you this was a well organized and enjoyable tour from the very beginning. The Guide (Daniel), Translator (Camilo), and Cook (Jenny) each exceeded all expectations. The historical... read more commentary provided perspective of the ground under your feet. The pace of the hike was flexible based on ability and enthusiasm. The sleeping accommodations were well organized and safe. The cooking was a true cultural tase of Colombia I would not hav sought out in city streets (and the portions and vegetarian capability were added bonuses). Should you look to do this trip, go with Teyuna!

  We head a gratis trip, well organised by our guide Tatiana togehter with Nicolas the translator. They took very good care of us. There wereld enough.stops were food was provided.... read more The meals at the major locations were very well cooked by Sandra.She even manager it to make a birthday cake.
I would recommend this trip too anyone Who is in a good condition. It is beautifull, but guite a climb.
I also would recommend you to get Tatiana as guide, Nicolas as translator and Sandra as cook, they have made the experience even greater.

  Javier Arenas is a fantastic tour guide. He took us to the Lost City. Professional, well informed, friendly. The service was great, the hike fantastic!

  Teyuna Tours provides THE BEST Lost City tours available. I talked with people from multiple tours, and they were all jealous of our experience; the exclusive excursions, surprise snacks, and... read more awesome staff were excellent! The logistics were perfectly planned and the scenery was world class.

Tatiana, the tour guide, was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and region. Nicolas, the translator, provided flawless translations and brought a great energy to the group. And Sandra, the cook, made tasty and large meals. If you’re considering the hike, I’d highly recommend requesting this group.

Top notch experience! Keep up the good work Teyuna Team!

  This was an experience that we will never forget and I am so grateful that it was with the correct guides through Teyuna Tours!! Tatiana & Nicolas were absolutely awesome... read more and made the tough trek extremely fun with interesting stories, experiences and surprises along the way to Ciudad Pérdida.
For the 4 days, each and everybody that undertook the trek were made to feel like family and it showed throughout the journey with other fellow trekkers form tour companies wanting to participate with the Aguadientes!!!
Thank you Tatiana for being awesome and providing the utmost service excellence to my partner, fellow trekkers and myself as your stories about the indigenous tribes and history really made us all understand the beauty of the city.
Thank you to Nicolas for translating and always having a positive outcome throughout the experience, you made us all feel safe and supported all of us throughout the way!!
A special thank you to the chef, Sandra!!! If it was not for the huge meals we had received and the unlimited about of hot chocolates, we would not have been able to survive. We are all grateful of your services and have had some of the best meals during my holiday here in Colombia
All in all, if you are looking for an opportunity to learn the culture, create new friends and family from around the world and be able to support the farmers in Santa Marta by choosing Teyuna Tours, this is for YOU!!!!

  I did the 4-day tour to the Lost City and it was arranged perfectly by Teyuna Tours. We thought it would be very tough but we had enough breaks and... read more everyone could do it at his/her own pace with made it easier than we expected. Our guide Tatiana explained everything very well and she told a lot of interesting stories about the indigenous people, the nature and a lot more. She spoke very clear spanish, but when we could not understand something, our translator Sebastián translated it to english. The tour was very complete, we got really good food from our personal chef José and every day some fresh fruit. All together it was a great experience!

  Teyuna is an agency made by guides with a lot of experience !
The four days trek was amazing and really well organized.
Thank you Isidro for you knowledge... read more and thank you Simone for you kindness, you're the best translator ever.
We finish the trek as a family

  The Tour with Teyuna has been nothing but great! Our guide was very helpful, knowledgeable and fun and the whole tour was very well organized. I also feel that we,... read more compared to other tours from different organizations, got more information and background to the whole area, the indigenous and everything else.
For me also important to mention is, that Teyuna is a farmers association in which everyone profits: farmers and indigenous - all the other tour operators are privately owned and therefore the profit goes to one single person instead of benefitting everyone (the price for the tour is the same, regardless the tour operator) So: highly recommended to do it with Teyuna tours and support the locals living in that area!

  Teyuna Tour is the best company for this experience. Excellent experience, very good guide tour, organization, landscapes.

  Thanks to my guides Hugo, Javier and cook Isildur - I would highly recommend this 4 day ciudad perdida trek with Teyuna Tours. The guides are very friendly and experienced,... read more you feel safe at all times. The hike itself is physically challenging, I went in November which seemed a very good time to go weather wise (some rain showers in the afternoon and at night but otherwise fine). I was a solo traveller in a group of 10 with Dutch, French, Colombian, Swiss and Spanish hikers (+ one English!). Teyuna Tours really take care of everything so all you have to do is hike. Great price for what you get (all meals and accomodation for four days). Ciudad Perdida itself is interesting but I enjoyed the journey there and back more. One recommendation would be boots over trainers, for stability and in case of mud.
