This looks amazing Amanda! Thanks for this article and it’s definitely in our to do list for South America. We did a fantastic hike that reminds me a bit of this one in Guatemala, exploring the ancient Maya capital of El Mirador:

I can only recommend this tour. I have been there at 2014. The trek to Ciudad Perdida is truly an experience and incidentally is Colombia a fantastic travel destination. On my site can also see a lot of this journey. But it is written in German with al lot of pictures, too. Here is the link http://www.alschim.de/reisen/201412_kolumbien/

In reply to Kirk Beiser. If you ever make it to Colombia, you should definitely check out this hike Kirk.

In reply to Luciano. Thanks Luciano! We actually carry a 65L backpack each on the back of our bikes. It sits on top of the back panniers. We protect it by using a 59 L Ortlieb dry bag. Of course it adds extra weight, but if you love hiking like we do, it's well worth the inconvenience. Renting is also an option but depending on where you want to go, there might not be a place to rent packs from. Are you planning a bicycle tour?

Many of the friends that I made in South America talked about this but I never saw pictures. That is an awesome trip.

beautiful photos! thanks for sharing! One question: since you are traveling on bikes, how do you get a backpack when you are trekking? do you rent one? is it expensive?

I can’t believe how beautiful it is! I must admit that I have never heard of this Lost City. It looks like it would be a great cultural experience though. I loved learning about the Kogi people and some of there customs!

In reply to Francesca @onegrloneworld. Glad you enjoyed it Francesca. Meeting Kogi people was also a highlight for me. It is always interesting to see a different way of life. When are you headed to Colombia?

This was a really great post, thank you for sharing all of this wonderful information. I enjoyed reading about the Kogi people the most. I am so curious about the indigenous tribes of Latin America and I think it’s so cool you got to experience this first hand! I’ll have to keep this in mind when I go to Colombia!
