The hike was about two hours and intermediate difficulty. Jorge had great English, led us at a good pace despite the high altitude, and was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna. The hike was very beautiful. We booked With Lunch which was served at the restaurant at the park entrance. The beef was delicious. It’s a really…”

Cali River Waterfall Tour (4 hours)

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 41 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $63

A private 4-hour Cali river and waterfall outing to Chorrera Del Indio, with hotel pickup, bilingual guide Juan, and chilly swim time.

“The tour is low key in the best sense of the word. Very relaxing and a great fit if you have an afternoon flight. In fact, they will reschedule pick up and return according to your needs. Also, Juan has backup drivers just in case and knows the area well. On a weekday, I had the river for myself. I saw no debris, it was clean, and humanely cold. I claimed a sweet spot, spending almost an hour in the water and learning about Cali through Juan. Also, if you prefer for the videos and photos taken to remain offline, Juan will do so upon request.”
