Whether you seek a peaceful escape surrounded by waterfalls, wish to enjoy local gastronomy, or are eager for thrilling water sports, this destination promises unforgettable memories.

A Glimpse into the Past

Founded in the 19th century during a period of exploration and settlement, the town has retained its traditional charm and slow pace of life. Over time, its rivers and mountains have attracted both nature enthusiasts and those looking to connect with the authentic Colombian countryside.

Best Time to Visit

The region enjoys a pleasant climate year-round, but the months between December and March are especially popular due to less rainfall. During this period, the rivers are clearer and activities like swimming, hiking, and rafting are at their best.
