Rio Verde Trip

On our Rio Verde Trip from Medellín, we offer a 1 or 2-day experience in nature, exploring the Antioquia Department and rafting in crystal-clear waters.

Description

At the designated time, we will pick you up from the Masaya Hostel in Medellín and head to the mountainous Antioquia region. Upon arrival at the village of Boquerón, we will begin a 1-hour hike down the canyon, supported by mules carrying our equipment.

Before rafting, a guide will provide safety instructions. We will navigate a 15.5-mile (25-kilometre) route filled with waves, whirlpools, and rapids. Halfway, a picnic lunch will be provided, with opportunities to swim in the deep pools of Rio Verde.

After the break, we will resume rafting, experiencing the most challenging rapids last. The activity concludes at the Samaná River bridge, where transport back to Medellín will be provided. The total duration is approximately 13 hours.

2-Day Trip

The 2-day option allows for a longer exploration. The first day includes rafting followed by setting up hammocks at the river's edge and enjoying a dinner with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. The second day starts with a swim in the river and breakfast preparation. Then, we will walk through the canyon and raft in secluded areas with hidden waterfalls, including a picnic lunch with various dietary options.

The trip ends at the Samaná River bridge, with return to Medellín around 8 pm.

Accommodation

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