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 our life jackets and choose your watercraft for navigating the rapids. You can raft with several people or face the rapids alone with a kayak or tube.

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

Afterwards, we'll continue paddling down the rapids until we reach the pier, where we'll disembark and take the jeep back to the starting point.

Duration

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