It was an unforgettable experience, a demanding jungle trek with the humid but wonderful heat! - Amazing experience, I recommend! Our guide Esneider and translator Duban were very attentive, always considerate, funny and very professional. Everything is well organized, delicious food in the camps in the evening. And the trek is great, you enter a sublime jungle, meet the land of kogis and the discovery of the Lost City is a suspended moment. I warmly recommend this adventure to all the curious, lovers of nature and ancient civilizations who have so much to teach and pass on to us. Thanks to our guides and to the agency for everything 🙏

Living the best experience and adventure of my life. - This lost city experience met all my expectations at all; the 4 days I spent in the middle of the jungle, without signal, disconnected from everything and away from the noise of the city was undoubtedly the best gift for my being. I want to give infinite thanks for all the accompaniment that ami and my friend gave me during this wonderful expedition in which I learned from the history and culture of these indigenous peoples. Additionally I want to highlight the accompaniment of Esneider Romero who is an incredible guide, very proactive, professional, attentive to his team and answers with a lot of knowledge about the questions that arose during the tour; his human warmth is wonderful, his humility, kindness and commitment, for my friend and I is the best guide we were assigned and we leave very happy for absolutely everything. Blessings!!

Unforgettable adventure to the heart of the Sierra Nevada with EcoSierra Tours - The Lost City Trek was one of the most impressive experiences of my travels – and that was especially due to our guide Esneider from EcoSierra Tours! From the first moment he made sure that we felt absolutely safe and comfortable with his knowledge, humor and care. The 4 days through the dense jungle, across rivers and to breathtaking viewpoints were physically demanding but incredibly rewarding. Nature is spectacular, indigenous cultures fascinating, and the arrival at the “Ciudad Perdida” is simply magical. Esneider not only shone with exciting stories and historical background information, but also always made sure that the group stuck together well. His passion for the region and his respect for the indigenous people were clearly noticeable – that made the tour particularly authentic for me. His translator Duban also did a terrific job, translated and conveyed everything accurately and was always available for fun. The ES food on the way was incredibly good, there were plenty of snacks (pineapple, banana, watermelon) on the way, the camps simple but cozy, and the organization overall top. If you feel like a real adventure and don’t just want to rattle off another tourist highlight, this is the place for you! Tip: Bring good footwear, mosquito spray and a bit of endurance – and then just enjoy! Thanks for this unforgettable experience, Esneider and team!🤩😊

An unforgettable experience in the Lost City - Trekking to the Lost City was one of the best experiences of my life. The jungle, the landscapes, the connection with nature and the history of the place make every step worthwhile. But without a doubt, what made this trip even more special was our guide: Esneider, known as “the Machine.” It is a total crack: always with a smile, full of energy, attentive to the whole group and with an impressive knowledge of the road, indigenous culture and history of the region. It motivated us in hard times, made us laugh, and taught us a lot about the place and its roots. You rating that he loves what he does, and that is felt every moment of the tour. I recommend this trip 100%

Unforgettable hiking experience - Excellent experience combining nature, culture, a physical challenge with a suberb service including our own translator, guide, chef. In addition we really appreciated being in a small group and the calm pace (many photo breaks and observations of nature, villages and views of the fantastic sourroundings). We felt safe and greatly taken care of. They also took us to numerous waterfalls and pools for us to cool of from the heat.

Great 4 day tour to DE Lost City - We really enjoyed a great 4 day adventure with Ecosierra perdida tours! Our guide Martin was super helpful, had a lot of knowledge EN and gladly shared it. In addition, we were EN very grateful for our translator Angela, who translated everything for us and nothing was too crazy for her. They managed to keep us both well motivated. Would definitely recommend it! We were in DE group, so we could DE and walk our own pace but in the evening we could join the other groups. This was very nice. Thank you so much!

An unforgettable adventure with Ecossierra Tour 🌿 - We had a great 4 day experience at Ciudad Perdida with Ecossierra Tour. The organization was generally very good: excellent meals, well thought out steps, fruit at each break, and well organized nights in camp. Many thanks to Émilie, our French translator, whose kindness and quality translations really gave meaning to the whole experience 🙏 Small downside to note: the initial transfer from Minca to the agency, in an overloaded minibus with many stops, took more than 3 hours. It’s a shame for a trek of this level and price, but easily upgraded.
