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. After approximately 1.5 hours, we will arrive at one of the most important rivers in central Colombia.

Upon arrival, we'll receive a brief introduction from our instructor and put on our safety gear. We will paddle through the waters, enjoying unique 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 continuous rapids down the 15-kilometre (9-mile) stretch of the Chicamocha River.

We will enter the regional coffee forest and enjoy views of lush plantations along the river banks. As we progress into the canyon, we will discover an old colonial village and have a chance to dip in the refreshing waters of the Chicamocha.

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