Date for the closing of the tour to Ciudad Perdida:
In addition, you must take into account that in September you cannot take the tour to Ciudad Perdida because the indigenous communities carry out a ritual of cleaning the mountain and the sacred site of Ciudad Perdida. Generally the closures go from September 1 to the 30. The last date to carry out before closing Ciudad Perdida is August 28 since on September 1 all travelers, guides and workers must leave the route closed.
Why does the Lost City tour close?
Since 2012, the indigenous authorities reached an agreement with all the unions of workers on the route to Ciudad Perdida to carry out the cleaning, healing, and tribute rituals in Ciudad Perdida. They are very cultural and traditional activities that are part of the indigenous cosmology, which is why traveling to the Lost City is prohibited on this date.
