A mixed group of sailors and friends completes a four-day guided trek to Ciudad Perdida, the pre-Columbian "Lost City" in Colombia's Sierra Nevada mountains. The group, including Natalie and guided by Aldi, covers roughly 470 meters of elevation gain on day two alone, camps at two sites including Paraiso, and climbs 1,200 steps to reach the ruins on day three.10:43 The trail crosses multiple unstable rope bridges — some crossed one at a time, others two by two — fords rivers, and includes a notorious one-hour uphill section called "the Happy Hour" and a steep final climb called "the Wall."4:28 Hazards include a highly venomous snake encountered on the trail, with the guide noting that a snakebite would require helicopter evacuation to the ruins' terrace.18:33 The group passes through indigenous territory where deforestation is absent, visits an indigenous school, and views a carved "map rock" at the ruins.5:46 Day four covers five to five-and-a-half hours of walking back, finishing around 3 p.m. The trek demands blister management, mosquito nets, Tiger Balm for muscle stiffness, and consistent hydration.7:42
