San Gil Colombia ADVENTURE GUIDE | Epic Paragliding & White Water Rafting | What to do in San Gil

#WhatToDoInSanGil #SanGilColombiaAdventureGuide #ParaglidingSanGilColombia
For those thrill seekers like me…. You MUST adventure in San Gil!!! Paragliding Chicamocha Canyon in the Northern Andes AND Class 5 white water rafting in Colombia were the most EXCITING, exhilarating experiences!!
Back in 2017, I spent 3 months exploring beautiful South America. One of the most memorable countries was Colombia! Colombia is VIBRANT. Full of colour & culture. AND ADVENTURE! The little town of San Gil is the adventure capital of Colombia… aka where I belong. Have you or anyone you know been to San Gil? I’d LOVE to hear about your experience down in the comments below!
I had two bucket list experiences I wanted to check off while visiting San Gil:
1. Paragliding over the Chicamocha Canyon in the Northern Andes Mountains
2. White water rafting in class 5 rapids of Rio Suarez.
The paragliding was EPIC! We booked with Parapenta Chicmocha, and they were great! We drove for about an hour from San Gil to the canyon, were given a detailed safety briefing, and then it was time to suit up! In order to get up into the air, you had to run while all strapped on and basically leap off the end of a cliff. Such a thrill! The flight time is about 20-25 minutes. Amazing experience!
Rafting on the Rio Suarez was also EPIC! We booked with Colombia Rafting Expeditions, and they took such great care of us. This river has class 5 rapids - the highest level a rapid can be classified until it is too dangerous and injury becomes likely! After arriving at the river, we were given a detailed safety briefing, practiced some rescue skills on the water (because apparently man overboard is a common occurrence), and then it was go time. This was an adrenaline pumping experience to say the LEAST - the rapids were insane. After 2 hours on the water, we disembarked and had a nice lunch on the riverbank with a few local puppies and a celebratory beer!
All in all, both experiences were WELL worth it! If you’re an adrenaline junkie like me, you MUST put San Gil, Colombia on your adventure bucket list! You’d be crazy not to!
*Pro Tip: wait to book until you arrive! This is true for most adventures while traveling. Online prices will generally be way higher!*

[@SightsSpice]

Wow! Truly an adventure! Rafting looks so intense!!

[@DameUntamed]

So intense! The rapids were WILD... as you can clearly see, lol! A few close calls, but everyone managed to stay on board 😂Highly recommend!!

[@HaswellTravelled]

Wow! Such fun! Your laughing while jumping off the cliff to paraglide was great. Awesome views - must have been a great experience. The river raft was also a blast - must have been hard to not fall out. I assume you were wearing the camera. Thanks for sharing and have a great day 😀👍

[@DameUntamed]

I couldn’t do anything but laugh as O launched myself off the edge of a cliff! 😝 & yes, I was wearing my GoPro on a chest mount. It actually broke off near the end of the rafting tour as someone tried to pull me back into the raft... luckily I caught it! It would have been at the bottom of the Rio Suarez 😱

[@LindselleCreates]

HELL NO to those rapids, as I would be the one to end up in the drink 😂 But that paragliding looks like SO MUCH FUN!!💜

[@DameUntamed]

In the drink 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jadacreativewanderer9045]

that looks so awesome!

[@DameUntamed]

It was SO awesome! Definitely the best rafting experience I’ve ever had 😍

[@ConsidertheWonders]

Those rapids are sick!

[@DameUntamed]

SO sick !! I couldn’t some of them were as big as they were. I guess that’s why they are class 5 😂 Have you ever been rafting?!

[@ConsidertheWonders]

Dame Untamed yea in Tennessee you can raft where they built the course for the Atlanta Olympics. It’s pretty awesome.

[@otashigo]

Theres also cave exploring in curití and trails with zip lining in the Chicamocha canyon, might as well drop by panachi if you're around the area as well.

[@DameUntamed]

Thank you for these recommendations! I will most definitely check out those spots if I ever come back 😌

[@jonelpizarro418]

Woahhh, that was insane and extreme. So cool.

[@DameUntamed]

So insane! Can’t wait to do it again one day 🤣

[@jonelpizarro418]

[@DameUntamed]

[@DameUntamed]

What do you mean by this?

[@scubamax]

Hard no for me! haha but fun video! Did you strap your gopro to your head during the white water rafting?

[@DameUntamed]

So rafting or paragliding for you?! Dang, it’s so fun !!! My GoPro was on a chest mount during rafting! 😍

[@danisht]

I'm travelling to Colombia soon.. Are 2 days enough in San Gil? I'm thinking if I should stay 3 days in San Gil?

[@DameUntamed]

Hmm, if you are very adventurous and want to experience a lot of activities, I think you should stay 3 days!

[@danisht]

@@DameUntamed I'm a bit short on time so I was thinking if everything could be managed in 2 days (paragliding, white water rafting and bungee jumping)? I'll be taking the overnight bus to and from San Gil, so I would then have two full days. If that's not sufficient then I'll stay 3 full days. Can everything be managed in 2 days?
