Adventure - San Gil Extreme Sports

San Gil Extreme Sports

San Gil is the adventure capital of Santander. You can do river rafting, paragliding, zip lining, bungee jumping, canyoneering, caving, mountain-biking, etc. in San Gil or near the town. In one day it is possible to do up to 2 or 3 different activities, if you want to enjoy more sports we recommend booking a multi-day tour.

River rafting can be done on 3 different rivers: the Fonce River (60,000 COP) which is up to class III rafting (medium), the Chicamocha River (230,000 COP/ full day) which is class IV (advanced/ extreme) and the Suarez River (150,000 COP) which is up to class V rafting (extreme). The paragliding sites are Curití (110,000 COP) and the Chicamocha Canyon (190,000 COP). The zip lines (45,000 COP) and the bungee-jumping platform (90,000 COP) are located in San Gil. Canyoning is climbing down a 50-meter part of the Juan Curí Waterfalls (80,000 COP) on a secured rope and for the caving activity you have a professional guide and hike through the Indian Cave or the Cow Cave (45,000 COP) for approx. 2 hours. Prices listed in parenthesis might change slightly.
