EXCELENTE A base de 1017 reseñas Publicado en Somodi KarolinaTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Gabriel and Isidro were our guides during our hike. They were both really kind, extremely helpful and knowledgeable. This ended up being one of our all-time favourite experiences. Thank you!!Publicado en ChrisTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Wonderful Tour with wonderful people 😊 The tour itself was one of my best treks so far. It's definitely worth going. Expotour is a very professional operator. Things are organised, in time, safe and reliable. My guide Jhoan and my translator Heberth were exceptional. Professionalism paired with fun. Very caring, safe and especially Jhoan very knowledgeable. We were the only group that stayed quite long in the city because he would explain all the history (including his small museum) to us. Both are really nice guys, and also compared to the other guides I saw up there, ours cared a lot more and had a better mood. Thanks for that! The camps are better than expected. My favorite was Paraiso. The owner is a nice guy, always present and lovely with all his pets. Pls let him know!Publicado en Louise BouillonnecTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. We loved our trek with Expotur! Everything was perfectly organized, from the logistics to the food to the accommodation - nothing to complain about. A huge thank you to our guide Tatiana, who was exceptional in her kindness, explanations and energy, and to our chef Luis Albeiro, who delighted us along the way. The group's atmosphere was really pleasant, and the time we spent at the top of the Lost City will be remembered as a unique and privileged experience. An unforgettable adventure that we wholeheartedly recommend!Publicado en E HTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. We had a great experience with a cool group, good food with large portions, and plenty of snacks. The accommodation was nice, and the staff — especially our translator Josa, our Guide Omar, and our cook Jesus — were friendly, helpful, and did everything they could to make sure we enjoyed our time. Overall, the organization was good. The hike can be quite challenging at times, especially when it’s hot and the trail gets steep uphill. However, our first impression at the office was not very welcoming — no one explained the next steps when we arrived, which left us feeling a bit unsure. The driver drove very fast and sometimes a bit recklessly, often talking on the phone, and didn’t greet us when picking us up. It would also be great if the company could provide the staff with proper hiking gear, such as rain protection and better-fitting backpacks, to support them in their work. Despite these minor issues, we really enjoyed the trip and would definitely recommend the company!Publicado en Sarah DumilieuTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Recomendaría sin duda alguna! Hice el recorrido con Tatiana, una guía de Expotur y me encantó la experiencia porque siempre estuvo muy atenta y adaptándose cuando hacía falta además de ser muy amable y fomentar un buen ambiente en el grupo. También agradecer a nuestro súper cocinero Yoismer por sus platos generosos y ricos que se agradecen después de una larga caminata. En fin, gracias de nuevo por todo! 😄Publicado en MarilouTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Une randonnée inoubliable avec notre guide Tatiana, d'une énergie incroyable. Plats généreux cuisinés par notrr chef Pollo, campement adequat, et paysage majesteux ! L'effort en vaut le coup. Je recommande sans hesiter ! MerciPublicado en Arthur Gillespie IIITrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. I want to thank the staff of Expotur for a pleasurable and awesome four day hike to La Ciudad Perdida! I thank Osmary who answered my questions about the hike on Whatsapp. I thank Tati, my hiking guide, for showing me how to hike uphill and downhill with more comfort and courage. Tati gave the hiking group a valuable history of the Teyuna indigenous people throughout the hike, especially when we reached The Lost City at the beginning of the third day. I want to thank "Pollo" for his culinary skills as he prepared our breakfast and dinner as well as set up much needed rest stops of fruits and fruit juices.Publicado en Līva LaiviņaTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. My friend and I did a lost City hike and it was simply amazing. It is so perfectly organized. Nelson, Pilar and the cook Angel, were the best trio you could possibly wish for. The food and snacks were amazing (very good vegan/vegetarian options), and we always felt full after the meals. Nelson and Pilar gave such a valuable insights and history about Lost City. I highly recommend it. Don't be scared and do it, it is so worth it!Publicado en Veronique LahounTrustindex verifica que la fuente original de la reseña sea Google. Un super trek en pleine forêt et avec un final extraordinaire la cité perdue! Un bon groupe " grenouille" très bien entouré par une équipe complice et pleine d'humour composée de César Jr, Isidore, Jésus et Eliecer. Je recommande vivement. C'était une expérience inoubliable surtout avec l'ambiance qui régnait au sein du groupe emmené par de supers gars!

EXCELENTE A base de 6226 reseñas Publicado en Sofia GVerificada Se cumplió con las expectativas que tenía. De las mejores experiencias de mi vida. Todo fue increíble, desde la comida, acomodaciones, guías y experiencia.Publicado en Carolin SVerificada Tough hike, great team, stunning scenery, worth it I had an amazing experience with my friends. This trail certainly pushed our boundaries physically, but we’ve had an amazing time, so amazing nature and and the most beautiful places. The group was really fun and the guides were amazing, our guide, Daniel was fantastic and very knowledgeable. He kept us altogether with this two other guides so every person, doesn’t matter what paise they were going, everyone was taken care of. Our Translator Carlos was truly amazing and always in high spirit, even when he didn’t feel so well he would still be smiling and have a good time with us all. 10/10Publicado en Paul LVerificada Awesome Trek We were fortunate to complete the Lost City Trek (Ciudad Perdida) with Expotur, and it was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. If you are considering this trek from Santa Marta, I cannot recommend this company highly enough. From the moment we set off, everything was exceptionally well organised. The route itself is challenging but incredibly rewarding – trekking through dense jungle, crossing rivers, and gradually climbing through the Sierra Nevada until finally reaching the breathtaking ancient terraces of the Lost City. The whole journey feels like a real adventure and a privilege to experience such a remarkable place. A huge part of what made the trek so special was the fantastic team who supported us along the way. Elizabeth, our main guide, was outstanding – knowledgeable, professional and clearly passionate about the history, culture and environment of the region. She shared fascinating insights about the indigenous communities and the significance of Ciudad Perdida, which really enriched the experience. Aldair, our interpreter, was brilliant and ensured everyone in the group could fully understand the stories, explanations and local context throughout the trek. His energy and enthusiasm kept spirits high even during the tougher climbs. Special mention must also go to Emiro, our cook, who somehow produced incredible meals in the middle of the jungle. The food was consistently delicious, plentiful and exactly what you need after long days of hiking. Finally, Jose, the auxiliary guide, was always there to help and support the group, making sure everyone stayed safe and comfortable along the trail. Our group, “Vamos Cabras Locas 🐐🤪”, had an amazing time together and the whole experience felt very well looked after from beginning to end. The camps were organised, the logistics ran smoothly, and the team created a friendly and supportive atmosphere throughout the trek. The Lost City Trek is physically demanding but absolutely worth it, and with a team like this guiding you, it becomes an incredible and memorable journey. Thank you again to Elizabeth, Aldair, Emiro and Jose for making this such a fantastic adventure. We would recommend Expotur to anyone considering the trek.Publicado en Anida KVerificada Beautiful Hike Had a great experience with Expotor! Everything was very well organized. Alberto was an excellent translator, Cesar was a knowledgeable and friendly guide, and Orlando prepared fantastic meals as our chef. The whole team was great and made the experience smooth and enjoyable. Highly recommend!Publicado en Jorn vVerificada Geweldig Geweldige tour, leuke gidsen en heel goed geregeld. Echt een aanrader!Publicado en Javier PVerificada Einzigartige Abenteuer! Es war ein Abenteuer zu einem einzigartigen Ort. Nelson, Justin und Albeido haben sich unglaublich gut um uns gekümmert. Die Wanderung ist sehr fordernd. Wir sind sportlich und sind an unsere Grenzen genommen. Man läuft täglich mindestens 15 km auf ausschließlich (sehr) steilen und unebnen Wegen. Insgesamt aber machbar, da man sich so viel Zeit nehmen kann wie man braucht. Die Camps sind sehr spartanisch eingerichtet. Die sanitären Anlagen ebenso und teilweise entsprechend dreckig, da es manchmal nur 4 Klos für 40-60 Leute gab. Das schlafen in der Wildnis klappt nicht auf Anhieb aber ist Teil des Abenteuers. Das Essen war unglaublich gut, dafür, dass man so von der Außenwelt abgeschnitten ist und alles nur per Maultier oder zu Fuß zum Camp gebracht werden kann. Also teilweise das beste Essen auf unserer Kolumbien Reise. Nicht so schön war, dass wir uns in der ersten Nacht das Camp mit einer Paramilitärischen Gruppe geteilt haben, die schwer bewaffnet war. Es war auch für die Guides eine unangenehme und neue Erfahrung. Die Ciudad Perdida ist natürlich Atemberaubend. Es ist nicht ganz so spektakulär wie Machu Picchu, dafür sind dort aber nur sehr wenige Touristen auf einem Riesen Gelände verteilt, da man nur zu Fuß hochkommt. Täglich hat man auch die Möglichkeit in einen der Flüsse baden zu gehen und sich abzukühlen. Auf der Wanderung lernt man Indigenen kennen und lernt etwas über die Kultur und Geschichte. Es war ohne Frage das Highlight der Kolumbien Reise!Publicado en Jeffrey DVerificada Unmissable trek Fantastic tour from start to finish, highly recommend Expotur. Excellent communication throughout the booking process, transportation and accommodation provided etc. Each trek section was well explained and didn't feel rushed, great history provided too. Big shout-out to Elizabeth, Aldair, Emiro and Jose! And the wider group for great energy throughout.Publicado en Yennifer VVerificada Reto Logrado con ayuda de Dios y el gran equipo de Expotur Iniciemos con la Logística de Expotur, excelente, cumplimiento de horario de salida, nuestra Guía Elizabeth espectacular, Amable y sobretodo paciente, tiene todo el conocimiento que se necesita para esta travesia, trabaja con amor y sobre todo pendiente de cada uno de nosotros en el grupo, pero ni se diga de el traductor Aldair, que energia que tiene ese hombre, colaborador y atento. José el Guia Auxiliar, colaborador, carismático, paciente, atento y ni hablar de Emiro el Cocinero, que sazón tan deliciosa la que tiene. Además todas las personas que apoyan esta travesía son geniales, siempre con una voz de aliento para que puedas llegar a la meta que no sólo es llegar a Ciudad Perdida sino regresar. Estoy muy feliz con esta experiencia y con ese equipo de trabajo tan maravilloso. Super Recomendado.Publicado en Sam MVerificada Wonderful experience It was a wonderful experience. In particular, great care was taken to accommodate the different physical abilities of all participants. My compliments to our guides: main guide Elizabeth, interpreter Aldair, the cook Emiro, and the auxiliary guide Jose. I would definitely recommend this activity to anyone who loves adventure.Publicado en Thera DVerificada Amazing adventure! Me and my boyfriend did the four day tour to the lost city and it was amazing!! Our guide Jose was very caring, knew a lot and also just very, very funny. Our translator Isi was very kind and a great storyteller. I Learned a lot from him. Our cook Wilfreddy was amazing, we had so many great meals and great snacks!
