The Lost City of Teyuna, in Colombia?s Sierra Nevada region, has long captured the imagination of travellers seeking off-the-beaten-track trekking adventures.
G Adventures, and its non-profit partner Planeterra, have partnered with the Lost City?s Wiwa community to allow travellers to explore a new undiscovered route, visiting an indigenous village that is opening its doors to tourism for the first time.
Working alongside Wiwa Tours, the first indigenous travel company in the Sierra Nevada, the seven-day ?Colombia ? Lost City Trekking? tour includes a Wiwa guide, overnight stays in Wiwa camp sites and a new exit route, open exclusively to those travelling with the operator.
Leading groups through the farmland surrounding the Lost City, the new route will pass through the Wiwa village of Gotsezhi, where travellers will undergo a traditional soul-cleansing ceremony before entering. Once inside, they will visit the community with one of the company?s Chief Experience Officers to translate, learning first-hand about their customs, before enjoying a traditional meal cooked by the women using local ingredients.
Prices start from ?539 per person, excluding flights.
