Lost City Hike with Kids: Our 6-Day Trek in Colombia

Why we featured this post

The trek to Ciudad Perdida is a serious jungle hike, and this family did it with a 4 and a 6 year old. Their six-day private trip report is honest about what it takes: heat, humidity, a thigh-deep river crossing, cold showers, short nights and about 1,200 stone steps to the ancient city. The payoff was having the site almost to themselves. Packed with tips on blisters, ticks, scorpions and timing the dry season, it's the post adventurous families need before booking.

Things to do

• Climb the stone steps to Ciudad Perdida
• Swim in the river near the upper camps
• Cross the river on ropes near the top
• Spot Blue Morpho butterflies and leaf-cutter ants
• Start the trek at El Mamey
