Ciudad
Perdida, Colombia's "Lost City" is older than Machu Picchu. There are
no trains or buses allowing of 1 travels to reach its ruins. The remote place
is only 2 on foot: a tiring multi-day hike.
Despite
this, I couldn't 3 the opportunity to visit Ciudad Perdida. 12
other hikers and I went there in 4 with a licensed guide. The dirt path, which 5 through towering palms and dangling vines (藤蔓), proved 6 right from the start. Along the way we also
met the 7. They have been left undisturbed for
centuries and there's a deep 8 between them and the land.
The
next morning, we were off early to 9 the heat, but high temperatures and muscle
pain had already 10 by the time we reached the final stage-1,200
stone steps to 11. After finally lifting my painful body
up the long flight of stairs, my eyes rested on the scene that had 12 the backbreaking journey: Ciudad Perdida.
I
looked down and wondered at the beautiful site below. While the return trip
included 13 the mental hurdle (障碍) of having already accomplished our goal, the experience is the one
I would do 14. It is the difficulty that makes the
journey a more 15 one. Earned views are always better.
