Trekking in Colombia
Colombia offers some of South America's most rewarding multi-day treks. The Lost City (Ciudad Perdida) trek through the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta is a 4-5 day jungle trail to a pre-Columbian archaeological site older than Machu Picchu. El Cocuy National Park provides high-altitude Andean trekking with glaciers and paramo landscapes.
For day hikes, the Cocora Valley near Salento and the trails through Tayrona National Park are accessible to most fitness levels. Colombia's diverse geography means you can trek through cloud forest, paramo, jungle, and Caribbean coast landscapes within a single trip.
