Ciudad Perdida?

Is there a helicopter service that will take you there. Or is the only way to get there a 6 day hike from santa marta.
Thanks for your help....

Helo Is Available But mega $$$$$$$$$$. About three days in three days out over some fairly rough terrain.

what is mega money? I can do like a grand or two. May consider more. Let me know what Mega Money is, as mega money in Montana, is say different than mega money in Los Angeles.

Thanks a lot, i genuinely appreciate your help.

More likely to get help on the Lonely Planet forum on this one.

BTW - can I hitch a ride on the copter with you :P

Helo trip was cancelled a long time ago due to complaints by the locals. The trip is 6 days and a great trek. Speccy views and quite easy as you go so slow. Last day has 8 water crossings. Food, accom, guide etc incl for about 400,000 pesos (this was last nov price)
