"More than a trip, it's an encounter with yourself; the Sierra is magical. The logistics are excellent: fruit and refreshing drinks at the stations between camps, delicious food, and in the camps, dining areas, bathrooms, and beds are super clean and very comfortable. Thanks to the entire staff: Misael, Cristian, and Sol, for guiding us every step with professionalism and closeness; we also had the company of Miguel, a young Kogui, who shared his vision of the Sierra; and to Clared, for her delicious and comforting food throughout the journey. Thanks also to our group, the Tucanes, 7 nationalities mixed in one adventure."

"Incredible experience at Lost City with Teyuna tour. I'm back from the 4-day trek and I loved it from start to finish. Everything was perfectly organized from the pick-up in Santa Marta to the arrival at the Lost City, the team was incredibly kind and went out of their way to make our adventure unforgettable. A big thank you to Pipe for his extremely interesting explanations throughout the route as well as to Duban for his good humor, kindness, and excellent translation. Davy's cooking was excellent and comforting and always brought with a big smile! I recommend without hesitation!"

"We had an excellent experience with Family Teyuna! Hernan and Nicolas were very experienced and driven guides who respectfully led us to the Lost City, with a lot of explanation about the indigenous communities. Daniella treated us to delicious, hearty meals (double carbs check) and snacks (fruit) when needed. The camps were in good condition (bed, mosquito net, dormitory, cold shower) and quite cozy. The trail was tough due to the up/downhill and especially the humidity, but the landscapes you got in return were indescribable! Beautiful jungle! The trail is pricey but the same for all companies, it's set by the government with emphasis on 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 cook, 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' :)"

"Visiting the Lost City, or rather, Teyuna, as we learned, was incredible! The guide David was very attentive, careful, and provided a lot of information about the history of the place. The cook, Isidro, was also very kind and made great meals. The hike has many ups and downs, but David respected my pace, and I was never alone on the trail, which for someone traveling alone is very important! Highly recommended!!"
