The Lost City - Ciudad Perdida is located in dense rainforest, and the time needed to travel the road that leads to it is not counted in hours, but in days. It is (only) 40km trek, which consists of muddy paths, multiple river crossings, and pushing through thick bushes. However, the effort put into the journey quickly pays off with the beauty of Ciudad Perdida itself. So, is it worth visiting? Definitely!
