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 of travel through the Santander region, we will arrive at this significant river in central Colombia.

Upon arrival, we'll receive a brief introduction from our instructor, don our safety gear, and board the boats. During the ride, we will enjoy 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 down the 15-kilometre (9-mile) stretch of the Chicamocha River.

Onboard, we will enter the regional coffee forest and take in stunning views of the lush plantations along the riverbanks. Deeper into the canyon, we will discover an old colonial village and 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.
