Day 5 - La Villana, vino y pastel!!! We hiked back out with of course one last stop off in the river for a swim. When we left on the first day we put orders in for a meal when we were finished our hike, we all ordered fish and it was delicious. We said goodbye to our awesome guides Ruth and Carlos! Crammed into the Jeep and headed back to Santa Marta. Back at La Villana, we spent the majority of the afternoon in the cold jacuzzi pool, luckily for us they were h...

Day 4 - Glad we did the four night hike! So whether or not you did the three or four night option, you paid the same price except today we got to stop at the first camp to relax and swim all day while the others in our group had to carry-on and hike another 14 km day! Also there was a pool table at this camp, Claire and I had a lot of fun with the young kids messing around!

Day 3 - Lost city=Amazing!!! Our campsite was about a kilometre away from the lost city, but like 300 m up a whole lot of sketchy stairs..... We spent about three hours exploring the lost city and it was absolutely amazing to see the hard work and manpower it would've taken to build this place! I can't wait for Machu Picchu!!! We spent some time getting some quality photos and action shots! I had read in my Travel Guide to bring up a small bottle of liquor to sh...

Day2 - Big day.....14km Today was the longest leg of our five day journey, 14 km along some amazingly stunning scenery. We stopped off at one of the camps for lunch and swim, we would spend the night here when we returned from the lost city. When we made it to the final camp we all went for a well deserved swim. Every campsite had an amazing swimming hole in a crystal-clear river which was absolutely awesome! Another great dinner, and tonight we got bunk beds wh...

Day1 - Ciudad Perida (lost city) trek Our lost city trek didn't start off as we had imagined it, they said they would pick us up at 9:30, he wasn't there till around 10am. When he did show up we had to walk across half the city to a different Hostel, where we waited for about another 45 minutes! When we finally did make it into the jeep we got stuck in the city behind a wall of people apparently waiting to get their government checks! After that, we drove to the...
