Ciudad Perdida, Caño Cristales rainbow river, and Amazon first contact communities
Colombia is one of the most biodiverse countries on Earth — and one of the most misunderstood. This 12-day expedition covers three of its most extraordinary and rarely-visited experiences: the 4-day jungle trek to Ciudad Perdida (older than Machu Picchu), the liquid rainbow of Caño Cristales (a river that turns red, yellow, green and blue due to unique aquatic plants), and a genuine Amazon jungle immersion in Leticia on the triple border with Brazil and Peru. This is Colombia beyond the coffee tours.
Ciudad Perdida was built in 800 CE and only rediscovered in 1972. Only 12,000 visitors per year vs 1.5 million at Machu Picchu — you'll have it almost to yourself.
Caño Cristales only displays its colors for 3 months per year when unique aquatic plants bloom. Once seen, never forgotten — called the most beautiful river on Earth.
Leticia sits at the triple border of Colombia, Brazil and Peru — deep in the Amazon with pink dolphins, caimans, and indigenous communities a boat-ride away.
Your Lost City guide is a Kogui tribesperson — one of the few indigenous groups in the Americas who never fully submitted to Spanish colonization.
