1. Rafting and kayaking
It is key to say that because of the Colombian relief it is easy to find these two activities. San Gil, Santander, is one of the regions where they can be practiced.
Tributaries such as the Fonce, Suárez and Chicamocha are visited daily to practice these extreme activities.
Kayak is one of the modalities of canoeing that is being promoted in the Luruaco lagoon.
