Rio Verde Trip

On our Rio Verde Trip from Medellín, we offer 1 or 2 days of exploring Antioquia's nature and rafting.

Description

We'll pick you up from the Masaya Hostel in Medellín and travel to the mountainous Antioquia region. In the village of Boquerón, a 1-hour hike down the canyon begins, with mules carrying equipment.

After the hike, safety instructions will be provided before we start rafting down Rio Verde. The 15.5-mile (25-kilometre) route includes waves, whirlpools, and rapids. A picnic lunch break allows for swimming in the river's deep pools.

After lunch, rafting continues with more exciting rapids until we finish at the Samaná River bridge, where drivers will return us to Medellín. The total duration is 13 hours.

2-Day Trip

The 2-day trip includes the same rafting activity on the first day, followed by setting up hammocks at the river's edge and enjoying a dinner with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Overnight accommodation is in hammocks.

On the second day, start with a swim in the river before breakfast. Then explore the canyon and stream, followed by rafting to secluded areas and hidden waterfalls. A picnic lunch, with various dietary options, will be provided before we raft again and look for exotic birds. The trip ends at the Samaná river bridge, returning to Medellín by 8 pm.

Accommodation

The 2-day trip includes a night’s accommodation at a campsite with hammocks.

Optional hotel pickup

An optional hotel pickup can be selected during booking for an additional cost, based on your hotel's location.
