Tourism for peace - This hiking is amazing, you can feel the energy connected to the nature, it’s challenging physically, emotionally and mentally, I will always remember this trip. Hernan, Byron, Andres and Samuel (the full staff invlufing guide, translation, assistant and cook) were amazing, helpful, kind and full of knowledge. Teyuna is a company from the peasants of the region and they replaced the coca harvesting for tourism, supporting the peace projects in Colombia is what made me decide to go with them and it was the best choice.

A Soul-Searching Adventure I’ll Never Forget - What an unforgettable experience! This trip turned out to be even more meaningful than I imagined. It was both a physical and emotional adventure, one I wasn’t sure I’d be able to complete—but I did, and it left me in awe. Antonio, our guide, was outstanding—friendly, knowledgeable about the Sierra and its native communities, and deeply passionate about his work. His connection to the land and culture truly enhanced the journey. The meals prepared by Camila were delicious; her cooking added so much comfort to the adventure. And Duban was excellent as our translator—clear, engaging, and always making sure everyone felt included. This really was the experience of a lifetime, and I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking both adventure and connection.

Memorable experience - Accompanied by Nelson, Isidro and Jainer we spent 4 memorable days of trekking. Their attention was constant and their explanations as rewarding as they were interesting. The meals were varied and hearty. The effort is worth it when you arrive at the Lost City. Thank you to them for their support and presence!:) I recommend eyes closed.

A truly adventurous experience - I found this hike to be a truly adventurous experience. It offers the chance to see the remarkable lost city. Everything is very well-organized and well-maintained. We encountered unusual weather conditions, but the guides handled them very professionally. Special thanks to our guide, Carlos, who kept us motivated until the very last minute.
