When leaving for a distant destination, everyone wants to feel more of a traveller and less of a tourist so that they can come into closer contact not only with nature, but with the local people. And it is in this spirit that we guide you through the land of Colombia, from the capital city to the Amazon, to meet the Indian tribe of the Huìtotos, and then on from the sea to the peak of Sierra Nevada to discover the cradle of one of the most ancient civilizations in South America. The arrival of European guests is a special occasion for the small indigenous communities, and dances and rituals are organised inside the maloca, the traditional house of the village. It takes a few days to reach the peak of the cordillera to see the remains of the Ciudad Perdida, where the Tayrona people built their city. You don’t need to be an Indiana Jones, but neither can you expect comfort; and so the adventure begins, a part of the way on foot and a part on horseback, accompanied by expert guides.
