4 days hiking to Ciudad Perdida from Santa Marta, small-group guided jungle camps, and included meals on the Sierra Nevada trail.

“The hike was stunningly beautiful with a plethora of incredible vistas that included rushing rivers, thundering waterfalls, staggering cliffs, and the simplistic beauty of the indigenous homes. The food was simply excellent; I was amazed by how good everything tasted, but I was likely biased a bit by the 5 hours of hiking that preceded every meal. The guide (Cesar), the translator (Aldair), the chef (we called him Pollo) and the other crew member (we called him Polloito) were all excellent and very kind.

9.Trekking Nevado del Tolima 4 days (5220 meters high)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 8 reviews · 4 days (approx.) · from $543

Trek to Nevado del Tolima from Salento over 4 demanding days, with snow gear, refuges near 4,300 to 5,220 m, and real mountain guidance.

“Had a great and challenging time on this trip. It sucked that it was essentially a white out when we made it to the summit but it will always be an accomplishment and experience I look back upon fondly. Santiago, Juan, John, and Luisa were outstanding guides! This was definitely not for the faint of heart and even though I would say I am in pretty good shape in the span of 3 days we did nearly 90km of total hiking. Summiting Nevado del Tolima is a very grueling effort and is not for the physically or mentally weak attempt.”
