Each day you have to walk between 6 and 8 hours (not many steep slopes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The reward after this daily effort is an excellent Colombian meal wrapped in banana leaves and a shower in a river with pristine waters. Of course, watching the surroundings, the singing and chirping of the birds, breathing in the fresh air, and, probably, walking in the pouring rain add a lot to the experience.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-2bb1e209 postAdvice right\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-682d5a7a postAdvicePicture\">\n\n<figure class=\"gb-block-image gb-block-image-3ccf7bcc\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"262\" height=\"311\" class=\"gb-image gb-image-3ccf7bcc\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/adrien-left.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"adrien-left\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/adrien-left.png 262w, https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/adrien-left-253x300.png 253w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 262px) 100vw, 262px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-50c90bb4 postAdviceContent\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-91162401 postAdviceContentBloc\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading postAdviceContentTitle\">ADRIEN&#8217;S TIP<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"postAdviceContentDetails\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomplanmytrip.com\/tours\/santa-marta\/lost-city-trek-review\/\" data-type=\"page\" data-id=\"82989\" data-lasso-id=\"93010\">Organize your trek to Ciudad Perdida<\/a><\/strong> with the expert we recommend.

One is that if you&#8217;re going there, you&#8217;ll need the right gear and equipment, and lots of climbing experience and fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The other reason is that permissions are not easy to get. The indigenous communities are the only people allowed to grant this consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Climbing the peaks is best from Valledupar, on the mountain&#8217;s southeast side. Then you arrive in Pueblo Bello and San Sebasti\u00e1n, two Arhuaco villages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, it can take three days of trekking until you see the snowcapped mountains from afar. Then, you go around lagoons at 3,000 masl before starting to climb the peaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the beginning of 2022, three Latin American climbers (two Colombians and one Ecuadorian) reached the summit.
