Turcol is one of the pioneers of the Ciudad Minca adventure and the experience is there. The guides (campesinos or Wiwa) are well trained and know the Sierra as their pocket. The team at the office is attentive to questions raised and responsive by email. Logistics and organization are convincing and there is a real compromise with social and environmental responsibilities. A good agency.

I loved my 4-day experience with TURCOL, the guides were super nice and always attentive to your needs/questions. I really enjoyed my time there and felt like my money was well invested. I got a bit sick during the trip and the guides were always ready to assist me and were really preoccupied of my health.

We had an amazing guide (Arghenith alias Pataconcito), which made us laugh and kept our energies up always with his jokes. The translator for our group (Fabian alias El Indio) was well spoken and had a lot of knowledge related to the indigenous tribes from the Sierra and Colombia in general and of their traditions. Our cook Moises always made delicious food that fueled our LONG hikes. Something I noted is that all of them interacted with ALL the farmers, indigenous people and other guides that passed us, which is a note to their presence and their friendliness. Also is something I noted not all guides from other companies did.

I saw that turcol really cares about their tourists, our group was small, and we were always taken care of. I really love that I saw the community impact they make and that they want to contribute to make the mountain better, we had an activity of reforestation which I saw was unique to this tour and makes the trip even better.

I want to thank them again Pataconcito, Indio and Moises for making this trip unforgettable. I will always recommend this company to any friends/family, because I know they will have a great experience and enjoy their time. I recommend this trip to everyone as it is a hard hike, but you will disconnect and enjoy nature and connect to a place like non other. You can really feel the good vibes there.

I did the 4-day Lost City Hike with Turcol and it was an AMAZING experience. Yes it’s expensive but the prices for all the companies are fixed and it is 100% worth it.

Our indigenous guide José was fantastic and taught us so much. Abraham our translator was helpful and good company. Danilo our cook looked after our stomachs!

The hike is challenging, it’s humid and you will sweat a lot. However the scenery is beautiful and the experience is so worthwhile.

Our group was small (7 of us) which meant we got to know the staff really well (many other groups had over 15 people). Everything was well-organised, meals were delicious and we got lots of fruit snacks. Camps were basic but had everything we needed - cold showers, beds and dining areas. Beds were clean and had mosquito nets.

Bring toilet roll and shower gel with you! Pack light as you will need to carry your things but make sure you bring 4 clean pairs of socks. Also my advice is hand wash (with your shower gel) your clothes at the end of the day and then you can alternate. Bring painkillers in case like me, your knees hurt on the downhill!

Highly recommend this once in a lifetime experience!

Hice el sendero de Ciudad Perdida. Me encantó. El guía Bruno muy recomendado. Chistoso, canta vallenatos, estuvo muy pendiente de nosotros y que disfrutáramos. También, el guía auxiliar Norbey excelente.

Me encantó sembrar un árbol caracolí en la parada de Wilmer de la iniciativa Sembrando Huellas para reforestar la Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.

La comida deliciosa de la cocinera Zuleima.

Espectacular!!! No duden en medírsele a Ciudad Perdida con Turcol !!
