Ciudad Perdida / San Agustin

Hola a todos!

Has anyone done the trek from Santa Marta to the Ciudad Perdida in the last month? Did you notice or hear about a rise in guerilla activity in the area or had any near misses with guerillas?

Also - To get to San Agustin.
A Calena friend in London told me that the best way to get there was to go directly from Bogota straight down the carretera through Neiva and not to go there from Popayan at all. Is this good advice?

Gracias!
