Rafting in Quimbaya

At 9 am, we'll meet at the central Bolivar Square in Quimbaya, where a jeep will take us to the La Vieja river, the natural border between Quindío and the Cauca Valley.

Upon arrival, we'll put on life jackets and you can choose your watercraft: raft, kayak, or tube. You can opt to raft with several people or navigate the rapids alone with a kayak or tube.

We will paddle along the river through the Eje Cafetero and enjoy the lush vegetation of Colombian nature. At around 12 noon, we will stop at a local farm for a typical lunch featuring sudado montañero: a chicken and potato stew with onion, tomato, yucca, and plantain served with boiled egg and rice, and accompanied by fresh-squeezed lemonade.

After lunch, we will continue paddling down the rapids until we reach the pier, where we will disembark and then return by jeep to the starting point.

Duration

The total duration of the activity will be 2-5 hours, depending on the river currents that day.
