Whitewater Rafting
With no shortage of mountains, canyons and valleys, it goes without saying that there is no small number of fast-flowing white water. The bulk of Colombia’s rafting operators are based around the pretty town of San Gil, in the foothills of the Cordillera Oriental. This area of Colombia is stunningly beautiful and in short will make the dreams of extreme rafters come true! The Chicamocha River and Fonce River are suitable for anybody wanting to raft, regardless of experience. Located nearby is the Suarez River. This is by far the wildest running water in the area, and offers excellent class 4 and 5 rapids for experienced rafters.
Up north are the archeological lands of San Agustin. Colombia’s most important river, the Magdalena, runs through this historic region and makes for a thrilling and refreshing rafting journey.
Close to Bogota is another top adventure destination. Tobia boasts the Negro River. This river has a class 3 section, which is good for beginners and intermediate rafters, but if you are interested in more action head to the upper section, which includes boiling class 4 rapids.
