Overall Lost City experience
"My experience was special, one of my favorite in Colombia. I really enjoyed the
walk, it was gorgeous. My group was amazing and very festive. Our company
was very organized and very professional, but very friendly at the same time. I
felt very safe and was provided very comfortable hammocks and blankets. The
city is really special and I liked it a lot. I learned about the area from the guides.
