Can you advise which vaccinations are recommended?

Colombia's Lost City Trek
20 Feb 2017
From walking the historical streets of Bogota and admiring the fabulous street art, to watching street life in colourful Cartagena with its Caribbean vibe, this trip is a real treat from start to end.
The trek itself is a hot, sweaty, and at times exhausting one, but it is well worth the effort for the beautiful scenery. Using the only company that use indigenous guides makes the visit to the Lost City all the more magical; and listening to tales of indigenous village life around a campfire is an experience we will truly treasure.

Colombia's Lost City Trek
3 Feb 2024
Wow - this was a challenging hike! Not so much the terrain, definitely due to the hot weather. Putting the heat, sweat and fatigue to one side - this hike is unique and rewarding. Along the route there is lots to see and the destination is mind blowing! Our team (Stiwen, Brayan & Pinnochio) were attentive and did everything possible to make this a safe & memorable trip. The side journeys on this itinerary were all worthwhile and enjoyable. It was just the two of us for the duration of this trip and at all times we felt safe and everything ran without a hitch.
