Well, we made it back from our 6 day, 40 kilometer trek through the Colombian jungle to find Ciudad Perdida, the Lost ruin city. Well worth the grueling hike and tormenting insects to see these ancient ruins preserved in such a beautiful setting. We made it through safely and are now in Bogota, Colombia until we make our way into Ecuador in the next coming weeks. We will keep you posted as we continue to travel southward and discover more wonders along the way!

Off to the Lost City
Hi everyone,
We made it to Cartagena, Colombia from Venezuela after a 30 hour bus ride which was less than comfortable for most of it but we have had a great time here in Cartagena. It is a beautiful little Colonial town with preserved architecture and a small-town feel. We are now on our way to Santa Marta to embark on a 6 day hike on the ruin trails of Ciudad Perdida, the lost city. We imagine it will be very similar to an Indiana Jones movie and we will probably be enlisted for a great quest where we will find amazing treasures, but we may have built it up a bit. :-) We´ll let you know how it goes!
