Trek to La Ciudad Perdida (Lost City of Teyuna)

05/25/18

I did this trek in 2012 and had an awesome time. The lost city itself is a lot larger than I thought, very beautifully kept and small groups went one at a time so your pictures wouldn’t include a ton of tourists. Two things I definitely recommend 1. Quick drying clothing. You’ll sweat, get rained on, slip in the mud.. you don’t want heavy damp clothes weighing you down. 2. Bring a life straw or your own water drops. The entire group I was with fell ill from bad water. Intense hill climbs and a bad case of mud butt are a rude combination. Originally the trek was scheduled for 5 days but because I was so ill I completed it in 4 just to be close to a washroom and proper bed.
