Main Terraces of Ciudad Perdida
Within one month of my decision to move to Cali, Colombia, I knew I wanted to hike to Ciudad Perdida. I found a friend who wanted to do the 5 night, 6 day jungle trek with me, we planned a trip for January 2024, and I started looking for flights to the nearby city of Santa Marta.
After she arrived to Cali, we prepared to leave for Santa Marta. We packed our backpacks full of “just the essentials”. Then we took a lap around my apartment.
