Need a quick day out from Medellin then why not join us as we head off to Rio Claro for the day. We will pick you up and take you off to explore this reserve and give you a chance to cross it off your list of places to visit in Colombia.
Enjoy Rio Claro Reserve for a full days tour as we leave Medellin and take a three hour drive to the reserve passing through incredible backdrops and breath taking views. Once we arrive at the reserve we will have the options to go explore and participate in various activities we have planned for you from caving and rafting, or just go find a spot and relax for the day taking dips into the refreshing river. Or go explore the trails, get a rubber ring and float down the river.
For those that want a bit of adventure we have planned for you to participate in two of the reserves most popular activities. So for the first activity that we have planned for you we will head off for about a forty minute walk along one of the reserves trails
winding through the natural habitat until we come to the cave entrance. From here we will make our way through the inside of the rock to live an extraordinary
experience.
Winding ourselves through a naturally carved out cave in pitch black conditions and water running throughout. We will work our way through using your torches as the only light sources! You will get to hear the strange sounds of the mysterious Oil Birds or Guacharos (Steatornis Caripensis), as we pass through their nesting grounds. We will exit the cave onto the main river.
For our second activity of the day we will go rafting through the reserve. We will get to enjoy the exuberant tropical rainforest that covers the canyon and get to appreciate the biodiversity of the region. The journey culminates at an imposing vaulted limestone ceiling that is testimony to the transformative powers of the river’s water cutting into the bedrock. Water droplets falling from gigantic stalactites that hang from a towering limestone cliff offer a breathtaking spectacle to the viewer. The level of this experience will vary greatly on the water levels
