RAFTING - RIO SUÁREZ
With class 4+ rapids this is the trip for those looking for a real adrenaline rush. You start your journey 1 hour from San Gil and finish your journey where the Rios Fonce and Saurez meet 30 minutes from San Gil. You won't get a chance to relax as you get tossed about passing through rapids including the The Labrynth, Marthas tongue and The Suprise. The 20km trip takes around 3 hours of none stop rapids and you will enjoy a chance to stop and take refreshments at the halfway point. When you do get a chance to look around you will find Rio Saurez passes through a beautiful part of Santander.
We strongly advise only using Colombia Rafting Expeditions (CRE) for this journey. Despite what other companies may offer CRE are the only ones that have qualified safety kayakers, Grade 5 IRF qualified guides and will actually tackle the big rapids and not walk around them.. They also use high quality safety equipment and not local made jackets and other equipment.
When it comes to saving $10 please consider the above. English guides also available.
Two day trip also available depending on group sizes and river levels.
