Chicamocha River Rafting

Discover the Chicamocha River on a thrilling 15-kilometre (9-mile) rafting descent over family-friendly rapids and venture into a dry forest.

Description

On the day of the activity, we will meet at Cra. 10 in San Gil to head to the Chicamocha River. After around 1.5 hours of travel through the Santander region, we will arrive at our destination, one of the most significant rivers in central Colombia.

Upon arrival, we will receive a brief introduction from our instructor and put on our safety gear before getting into the boats. We will enjoy unique views of the Chicamocha Canyon, which was nominated in 2012 as one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World.

For 2 to 3 hours, we will navigate through stretches of continuous rapids, experiencing the excitement of the 15-kilometre (9-mile) route down the Chicamocha River.

On board, we will enter the regional coffee forest and enjoy views of lush plantations along the river banks. As we explore deeper into the canyon, we'll discover an old colonial village and stop for a refreshing dip in the river.

After the activity, we will enjoy a traditional lunch before concluding the day, resulting in a total of 6-7 hours of activities.
