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'll meet at Cra. 10 in San Gil to head to the Chicamocha River. We will cross the landscape of the Santander region, and after around 1.5 hours, we’ll arrive at one of the most important rivers in central Colombia.

Upon arrival, we will receive a brief introduction from our instructor. Safety gear will be provided, and we will then get into our boats. During the ride, we will have views of the Chicamocha Canyon, 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 on the 15-kilometre (9-mile) stretch of the Chicamocha River.

Onboard, we will enter the regional coffee forest and enjoy views of the lush plantations along the riverbanks. As we venture deeper into the heart of the canyon, we’ll discover an old colonial village and have a stop for a dip in the refreshing waters of the Chicamocha.

After the activity, we will refuel with a traditional lunch, concluding the day after 6-7 hours of activity.
