Advanced River Rafting Down Samaná River
Description
We'll pick you up at your Medellin hotel at the designated time and head out on a journey through the verdant landscapes of the Antioquia region.
Enjoy a scenic three-hour drive as we reach our first transfer point in Cocorná. Here, we'll transition to a rugged off–roading vehicle, transporting us to a forested area within 30 minutes. Upon arrival, we'll hike approximately 40 minutes to an hour, tracing the contours of an awe-inspiring canyon.
As we reach our advanced rafting launch point, we can spot the Samaná River. Often referred to as the "free river of Antioquia," this waterway originates from the merging of the Verde and Calderas rivers.
Upon reaching the river's edge, you'll find the rafts and paddles ready and waiting for you. We'll gear up with safety gear, including helmets and life jackets. Following a brief technical briefing, we'll take off on our thrilling rafting expedition, which is anticipated to span approximately 3 to 4 hours.
We'll navigate a challenging stretch of the river, covering 25 kilometers (15.5 miles), which features high-difficulty class III and IV rapids. Along the way, don't forget to take in the breathtaking lush Colombian jungle passing us by.
Before we pack it in, we'll enjoy a picnic lunch surrounded by the pristine natural surroundings. Once we've reenergized ourselves, we'll return to the initial meeting point via our off–roading vehicle.
Waiting for us will be our transport vehicle, bringing you back to your Medellin hotel, and bringing our action-packed day to a close 9 hours later.
Tour from Cocorná
You can also choose to head directly to the meeting point in Cocorná, located at El Llanerito La Piñuela Restaurant, located at Autopista Medellín - Bogotá. If you choose this option, we'll contact you regarding an exact meeting time.
At this designated meeting point, we'll wait for any remaining members of the group coming from Medellín. In the meantime, we can enjoy breakfast with arepas, cheese, eggs, and rice. For beverages, you'll have the choice between hot chocolate, coffee, or soda.
