Overview
Book online and enjoy exclusive savings on G Adventures 14 Day Colombia's Caribbean Coast & Lost City. Colombia has a certain kind of magic that you won’t find anywhere else in the Caribbean. On this trip, you’ll experience it first-hand via visits to rural regions, treks through Tayrona National Park’s picturesque trails and (of course), downtime on the beach. Spend time with village communities to learn about Indigenous traditions before heading deep into the jungle to Teyuna — the fabled Ciudad Perdida (Lost City) older than Machu Picchu — a place crowded with history and free of crowds. Colombia...read more is mysterious. Come figure out the riddle.

Travel to the small town of Minca, breathe in the fresh mountain air and enjoy free time to explore. Stay: Hotel Minca La Casona (B)
Leave Minca behind as the group heads into the Tayrona National Park area to spend the day visiting a nearby indigenous community. Gain insights into the rich traditional cultures of this region, and the Arhuacos. Enjoy a textile weaving demonstration by members of local families in the Katanzama community. Afterwards, transfer to your accommodations just outside Tayrona National Park, where you will have free time to enjoy the property and its amenities. Relax in a nearby hammock, find a local restaurant for dinner, and enjoy the cool ocean breeze. Stay: Posada Villa Margarita (B/L)
Head into Tayrona National Park for a moderate hike with a local guide. This is a perfect opportunity to experience nature and learn a little more about the rich, natural diversity of northern Colombia. Lunch is included during your hike. Afterwards, the group will travel the short distance to our nearby accommodations and spend free time unwinding after a full day of exploring this stunning national park. Stay: Posada Villa Margarita (B/L)
In the afternoon, travel from Tayrona to Taganga. Orientation walk with CEO upon arrival. Stay: Ocean Taganga (B)

Wake up and hit the road to the village of El Mamey where your trek to the Lost City of Teyuna begins. Trek through farmland, steamy jungle, and rural Kogi communities.

The group will have lunch at the village and hike about 4 hours to the first basecamp. (B/L/D)
