If you're after an adventure, we've got it sorted! On our Rio Verde Trip, we'll set off from Cocorná and discover the mountain scenery, crystal-clear rivers and flora and fauna of eastern Antioquia.
Rio Verde Trip
At 8 am, we'll meet at the El Palacio de los Frijoles restaurant and hop into our jeep to begin our adventure deep in Antioquia's forests. In the village of Boquerón, we'll walk down the canyon for 1 hour, accompanied by mules carrying our equipment.
We'll proceed to rafting, where guides will explain necessary safety regulations before we embark down Rio Verde. The route covers 15.5 miles (25 kilometers) of waves and rapids. At the halfway point, we'll enjoy a picnic lunch and have time to swim in natural pools and explore waterfalls. After the break, we'll tackle the challenging rapids in the second stretch.
The activity concludes at the Samaná River bridge, with drivers waiting to return us to our initial meeting point by 5 pm.
2-Day Trip
For additional fun, you can opt for the 2-day trip to Rio Verde. The first day follows the same rafting itinerary. After rafting, we'll set up hammocks for rest and enjoy a dinner before sleeping.
The next morning, we'll prepare breakfast, and you can swim in the river. Our first activity will be a hike through the canyon, followed by rafting to explore secluded areas and secret waterfalls. A picnic lunch will follow as we continue rafting, with chances to see exotic birds overhead.
Rafting concludes at the Samaná River bridge, from where we will return to our meeting point by 5 pm.
Accommodation
The 2-day trip includes 1 night's accommodation at a campsite with hammocks.
