The TOUGHEST TREK we've EVER DONE... Ep119

#lostcitytrek #lostcity #travelcolombia #travelfamily #treks #besttreks #travel When someone said they were headed to Colombia to trek to the Lost City, my ears pricked up as I imagined adventure, stories, beautiful places and a good challenging hike. This is the 1st part of the trek, the 2nd part will be in the next episode. We were not disappointed and set off with 10 other people adults and 18 kids, ranging from ages 6 to 17 plus us 5 so we had a massive group. We decided to go with Turcol who organise these treks and they provided an additional 2 translators, 2 guides and 2 cooks as well as a pack of mules to carry all the food. We all had to carry our own gear. The first day we were transported up to the mountains by 4 wheel drive over the tricky terrain . Lunch was a generous portion of chicken, rice, plantain and salad. Then off we set on a 4 - 5 hour hike , some of it through thick mud in the pouring rain. We stayed the first night in base camp 1 by a flowing river. The second day was a long hike of 7 - 8 hours in total to the 2nd base camp, stopping on the way for lunch and fruit snacks. The 3rd day, we did the very steep trail to the Lost City at the top where we learnt more about the Kogi Indians and how and why they built this city here. On the same day we had to hike back to another base camp where we stayed the night before the final Day 4 trek to the bottom again. Sleeping & eating: Every night we slept in rows of wooden bunk beds with good mosquito nets, clean sheets, pillows and blankets. The food was excellent, a healthy mixture of protein, carbs , fruits and veggies with fruit snacks along the way. We would highly recommend doing the trek with this travel company: https://turcol.co/ Music in this video deserves a Thanks to : " http://www.bensound.com/royalty-free-..."
