In reply to Lauren. 20 should be enough. I used a 20L and had plenty of room. Enjoy your trip!

Hello!
Great post about the hike! I’m thinking of doing it but I only have a big 65 liter backpack and a small 20 liter backpack with me. Do you think the 20 liter backpack is big enough? Or were there places around that you could rent a 30 liter backpack? Thanks for your help!

In reply to Steve. Hey Steve, it's really hard to predict how bad the rain will be so it's a bit of a gamble. I'm not sure about any news on the Zika Virus in Colombia.

In reply to Chaim. Hey Chaim, it depends on the time of the year. During the rainy season it would be really muddy.

When you stay steep climbs, is it mud or rock?

Thanks for your description of the hike and your list of travel supplies.

I have an opportunity to go to Ciudad Perdita this August and am wondering whether I should be put off by the rainy conditions and mosquitos. Is the drought continuing this year? Is there any news about Zika virus on the Caribean coast?

Thanks

Antonio, that's a great photo of you guys at the summit! Tried the coca leaves too. Great column Scott :) You're photos are really nice! very clear and contrasting, you arrived in the Lost City on a far clearer day than I did. Here was my experience on the 4 Day Jungle Trek To The Lost City- Days 1+2 and the second part-- Ascending the Mountain To the Lost City in the Colombian Jungle the day of the 1200 stairs :) Cheers, hope you enjoy! I'll be looking more through your blog Antonio.
