CHICAMOCHA ADVENTURE TRIP
Colombia's biodiversity can be equivalent to 20% of the planet's total
Description of the Experience
Set forth on an unforgettable expedition through Chicamocha Canyon, one of Colombia’s most awe-striking natural wonders. This six-day journey plunges into the soul of Santander, a realm where jagged mountain spires, colonial-era villages, and adrenaline-charged exploits converge.
Your voyage launches in San Gil, Colombia’s adrenaline epicenter, where you’ll dive into canyoning adventures through winding river corridors and shadowy grottoes. Brace for a white-water rafting odyssey, tackling rapids that surge from class 3 to class 5. Cyclists will find euphoria on sinuous trails threading through Chicamocha Canyon, where every bend reveals cinematic panoramas of its sunbaked ravines.
Trekkers are beckoned by the region’s untamed topography—a mosaic of pathways cutting through parbadlands dotted with resilient, drought-resistant flora. A pinnacle moment arrives aboard the Chicamocha cable car, lifting you skyward to drink in the canyon’s gargantuan scale from a celestial vantage point.

Why You Should Choose This Tour
