• Ciudad perdida trek day 2

    August 31, 2024 in Colombia ⋅ 🌩️ 21 °C

    Ok second day was tough, wake up at 5am quick breakfasts then we were on the go.

    Morning was tough but nice, sunny with some nice views, a lot of climbing on muddy paths (been raining all night).

    Got to eat some of the best watermelon and pineapple of my life on the way up (offered by locals). We were quickly into Kogi territory, all dressed in bright white (didn't took any pictures of them because it felt disrespectful).

    Then after lunch shit started, it got incredibly hot with still some tough climbing and started to make a heatstroke.

    Once I finally managed to refresh myself and reached the top we fell suddenly under heavy rain, 1h30 hiking under heavy rain sometimes forced to walk across some flooded bridge (cf video).

    Eventually I survived and reached the camp for my second night. Tomorrow morning we are going to the final step: la ciudad perdida and then will start the way back.

    PS paid the toll price to the mosquitoes... Blood for the blood god.
