EXPEDITION DETAILS

The Expedition Trek™

A fast hike through Colombia’s ancient trails, past timeless villages and lush green landscapes. An immersive trek across the welcoming beauty of Antioquia.

STAGE #1

The expedition begins in Colombia’s historic railway region, passing through Cisneros before climbing along a river and into cool mountain air. The day closes in Santo Domingo, a colonial town where plaza life brings authentic Antioquian charm.

STAGE #2

At first light, the trail follows one of Antioquia’s oldest routes across ridges, meadows, rivers, and the storied Purgatorio Bridge. Midday brings a stop in Alejandría, before rolling hills descend toward Guatapé Lake. The stage stretches into night, offering the rare calm of moving beneath a star-filled sky.

STAGE #3

A speedboat ride carries you across Guatapé’s vast lake, a labyrinth of green islands. Remote trails and waterfalls lead to the finish at an eco-boutique hotel, where celebration, fresh food, and the satisfaction of a true expedition await.
