Salvajina Reservoir Tour

At 8 am we'll pick you up at your hotel in Popayán and travel north until we reach the Salvajina Reservoir, in the middle of the Cauca river basin.

After a two-and-a-half-hour drive, we'll arrive at our destination and start walking around the area to admire the hydroelectric plant. First, we'll visit the Salvajina waterfall, and to get the best views of the reservoir, we'll go up to its viewpoint for some photos.

In the next part of the tour, we'll enjoy a boat ride around the dam, allowing us to see the reservoir from a unique perspective. The guide will provide details on its construction and the importance of this site for the indigenous communities in the Cauca region.

We'll then return to land and enjoy a traditional meal of fish, chicken, or grilled meat. To conclude the tour, you'll have free time to swim in the pool of the Salvajina Reservoir.
