The Lost City

We will be off blog for the next 6 days as we trek through the jungle with our guide and small group. This is the area of the Tayrona indigenous people and we will stay overnight in their huts and sleep in hammocks. They don´t give us mileage but say there are between 4 to 6 hours of hiking each day and on some days we will have to cross the river several times. The last day we have to climb 1200 stone steps to the archeological site. This will be no Machu Picchu but I´m sure it will be an adventure. One of the highlights listed is ¨{evening chat with Mama Kogi}. Maybe she´s a witch doctor and can cure my migraines!

    You guys are definitely off the familiar tourist track. I remain interested in the language part of your trip, too. Do the Tayrona folks have a language unique to them? The hokey-pokey is soon to have new converts---globalization at its best.
