In Summary

Why this trip ?

It is the archaeological territory of an ancient Tayrona city located in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, whose foundation is attributed to the year 800 AD, many years before Machu Picchu.

The Tayrona paradise is made up of a series of terraces dug into the mountainside, made up of a network of tiled paths and small circular plazas. Access to Ciudad Perdida is done by ascending some 1,200 stone steps through the vast jungle of the region.

If you like adventure and feel in optimal physical condition to hike up to 6 hours a day, you will fully enjoy what this adventure has for you.

Colombia is a great place to vacation all year round, although, in general, the best time to travel to Colombia is between December and March and between July and August.

There are two seasons in Colombia: summer and winter. We will speak more about dry season and rainy season.

Rainy Season: The rainiest months are April, May, October, and November. There are many different microclimates in the country. The climate is generally humid. You can perfectly travel to Colombia during the rainy season. For example, on the Caribbean coast, it usually rains in the afternoon or at night.

As for the temperatures, they remain stable throughout the year. Temperatures vary more according to the altitude and the sunshine.

Tip: Don’t rely entirely on Internet weather forecasts. The weather can change from one moment to the next.
