FUN & ACTION
Rafting on La Vieja River
The “Balsaje” as it is known, is a favorite local leisure activity, floating atop a bamboo raft. A typical and quiet way to enjoy the birds that surround the river and the exuberant nature and the perfect opportunity to get away from the modern world.
In the morning we will head to the town of Quimbaya where we will switch transports to the traditional mode of transport in the region, WWII-era Jeep commonly known as “Willys” to head to the riverbank.
After floating down by “El Rio la Vieja” during approximately 2hrs, we will enjoy a delicious typical farm lunch, served with the local produce by the river.
