Hi Richard,

I had a small backpack that I usually use for day hikes so it wasn’t ideal. I’d suggest taking a backpack that’s meant for multi-day hikes, although you don’t want anything too big. You also need some waterproof covering for your bag – our guides brought big plastic bags for us. The main thing is to have a bag that’s comfortable! You don’t need anything particularly tough.

Enjoy the hike!

Sarah

would you recommend a backpack of a particular type. Or something you tough would have been really useful on you trip and did not take?

Hi Bryan, we did the hike in December (just before Christmas, in fact). I’m not sure what the weather is like in February – just check that it’s not rainy season. I think any time of year is really hot and humid but you don’t want to be going when it’s raining a lot as it will be extremely muddy and the river crossings may be more challenging.

Hi Johnny, hope you make it to Ciudad Perdida! Yes it’s true most of it hasn’t been cleared yet but the area with the main ruins is accessible.

I am Colombian and plan to visit Medellin and maybe on the way back to NYC I will make a stop to explore this city, I have read a lot about it and it seems to be on the less popular ancient ruins but then again that keeps the mystery alive. I read it hasnt yet been cleared and there are no plans to, is that part accesible,

My wife and I were thinking of going in mid-feb. You mentioned that it was super hot. We did the Inca trail hike in Sept. And it was perfect hiking weather, dry and not too hot.
