I went on the 4 day trip starting last Tuesday. Our guide was Ali. I'd like to congratulate magic tours and Ali in particular for providing such a wonderful experience. The trip was fascinating and excellent value. The accommodation was appropriate. The food exceeded all expectation and the attention Ali paid to our welfare was truly beyond question. We all... More

This trek was one of the highlights of Colombia, if not S America. We went with Magic Tours, booked through an agency in Taganga. Our guide was Luis, who was great although he only spoke Spanish so some of the other trekkers in our group had to translate anything we didn't understand. Pack light - I just took a day... More

I just came back from the Lost City which I did over 5 days. The trek is quite nice (my 1st jungle trek) and not demanding if you have trekking experience. The main difficulties is coming from the weather as in the jungle wet closes and shoes do not dry... Therefore you shall pack accordingly. As you can't so this... More

We did a 5 day trek to Ciudad Perdida, we booked with Magic Tours and had Jorge & Lois as our guide & cook. We had THE BEST time, we had a small group of 9 for the first 3 nights/ 4 days and then a few of them went off to do it in 4 days leaving just 3... More

I did the 5 day trek to Ciudad Perdida with Magic Tours and it was wonderful.

Our guides were Miller and Pedro who worked from Guias y Baiquianas based in Hotel Miramar in Santa Marta. Both guides were absolutely superb! We were fortunate enough to have 4 sunny days for our trek which was divine. Really tough trekking but I think we would have been bored if we had done it in five days. The food... More

I am posting some tips at the end (scroll down) as I found some of what I read here to be misinfomed. I wish there was a slow walkers tour to Ciudad Perdida. There were a lot of people rushing to get there and back as quickly as possible, so they could move on to other places. I felt a... More

We did the 4 day trek in mid March which was the start of the rainy season. I am 54 and did this with my 21 year old son so it was more physically challenging for me than my younger companions. But, that being said this is a HARD and physically demanding trek. I would definitely recommend the following: 1.... More
