Where
is best for adventure tours in Colombia? There's various subsections on
trekking, rafting, mountain biking and other adventure travel
activities. Generally speaking, San
Gil is known as Colombia's adventure travel capital, and
offers a range of adventure tours such as caving, parapenting, bungee
jumping, river rapelling, trekking, horseback riding and paragliding.
Ciudad Perdida is quite
possibly one of the worlds great adventure treks. It's a gruelling 5
day hike high into the rainforest to some spectacular, recently
discovered ancient ruins. This is Indiana Jones style exploration, and
a real travel highlight.
If
you're into off the beaten track type adventure tours in Colombia,
consider travelling to the remote La
Guarija Peninsula. In La Guarija, many parts are only
accessible by 4WD vehicle - there's empty Carribean beaches, wildlife
viewing options and small indigenous Wayuu communities that can be
visited.
Those
seeking soft adventure tours in Colombia shouldn't miss out on Park Tayrona, which offers
some of Colombia's finest remote beaches. There's little tourism
infrastructure, so you'll be camping (unless you can afford the luxury
Eco-Habs), and hiking through rainforest trails to discover empty,
idyllic beaches.
Leticia offers adventure
rainforest tours, wildlife watching and canoeing in the Amazons'
rivers. Adventurous travellers continuing on to Brazil might consider
crossing the border to Tabatinga and getting the 4 day Amazon river
cruise to Manaus, capital of Brazil's Amazon area.
Go
and seek adventure in Colombia! The country is full of options, just
check local safety conditions before heading off the beaten track.
