About this plan
Looking for an adventure plan out of Bogotá? This rafting tour through the Güejar River Canyon takes you out of the city for a couple of days and drops you right into the jungle of Meta. You leave by bus from Calle 53 and Boyacá, and by the next day you are paddling between rock walls that are millions of years old.
The run covers 17 kilometers of the river and takes about six hours. Along the way you stop at Esmeralda Falls, a 70 meter waterfall, and at Piedra del Titanic, where quesadillas and coffee are waiting. The landscape mixes clear water, narrow canyons, and plants that look like they belong in another era.
The plan covers a safety briefing, guides, full gear, breakfast, lunch, and transport by bus and 4x4. It is a solid pick if you want to break your Bogotá routine and spend real time outdoors.
