"Tolle Hüttenwanderung, der Preis ist gerechtfertigt für das was man bekommt. Eine fantastische Wanderung, immer gutes kolumbianisches Essen und gute Betreuung und Lehrreich. Man braucht ein gewisses Fitness Level."

"Más que un viaje, es un encuentro contigo; la Sierra es mágica. La logística es excelente: fruta y bebidas refrescantes en las estaciones entre campamentos, comida deliciosa, y en los campamentos comedores, baños y camas súper limpias y muy cómodas. Gracias a todo el staff: Misael, Cristian y Sol, por guiarnos en cada paso con profesionalismo y cercanía; tuvimos además la compañía de Miguel, un joven Kogui, que nos compartió su visión de la Sierra; y a Clared, por su comida rica y reconfortante durante todo el camino. Gracias también a nuestro grupo, los Tucanes, 7 nacionalidades mezcladas en una misma aventura."

"Expérience incroyable à la Ciudad Perdida avec Teyuna tour. Je reviens du Trek de 4 jours et j'ai adoré du début à la fin. Tout était parfaitement organisé de la prise en charge à Santa Marta jusqu'à l'arrivée à la Cité Perdue, l'équipe était d'une gentillesse incroyable et s'est pliée en 4 pour rendre notre aventure inoubliable. Un grand merci à Pipe pour ses explications extrêmement intéressantes tout au long du trajet ainsi qu'à Duban pour sa bonne humeur, sa bienveillance et son excellente traduction. La cuisine de Davy était excellente et réconfortante et toujours amenée avec un grand sourire ! Je recommande sans hésiter !"

"Wij hebben een uitstekende ervaring gehad met Family Teyuna! Hernan en Nicolas waren heel ervaren en gedreven gidsen die met veel respect op eervolle wijze ons een weg leidden naar de Ciudad Perdida, met veel uitleg over de indigenous communities. Daniella verwende ons met heerlijke, volle maaltijden (dubbele carbs check) en snacks (fruit) wanneer nodig. De Camps waren in goeie staat (bed, muskietennet, slaapzaal, koude douche) en best gezellig. De trial was pittig door de up/downhill en vooral door de luchtvochtigheid, maar de landschappen die je ervoor in de plaats kreeg, waren onbeschrijfelijk! Prachtige jungle! De trial is prijzig maar voor alle companies hetzelfde, het is desdanig door de overheid bepaald met nadruk op sustainable tourism. Worth every Penny."

"Thank you very much to the Teyuna team for a memorable experience. It was well organised and the quality of the camps was pleasantly surprising. Ender was very knowledgeable and explained a lot throughout the trip. Jonathan our cocinero, kept us well fueled with some delicious cuisine. But we would like to give special thanks to Brayan, whose positivity , calmness and support during tough terrain was comforting, it was pleasure to have Brayan as our assistant/guide. We will always remember his encouraging 'vamos chicos' :)"

"Visitar a cidade perdida, ou melhor, Teyuna, como aprendemos foi incrível! O guia David foi super atencioso, cuidadoso e trouxe muitas informações sobre a história do local. O cozinheiro, Isidro, também foi super gentil e fez refeições ótimas. A caminhada tem muitas subidas e decidas, mas David, respeitou meu ritmo e não fiquei nenhum momento sozinha na trilha, isso para quem viaja sozinha, é bem importante! Super recomendado!!"
