Let’s go to Jordan in the Depths of the Chicamocha Canyon

  • 0 booked

Overview

A full-day tour enjoying the diverse landscapes of the Chicamocha Canyon,experiencing its essence and exuberance. The first part of the tour includes a stop in the town of Villa Nueva, with a brief pause to sample its popsicles in countless flavors, before continuing towards its pineapple and tobacco fields. As we begin to descend, winding roads with incredible streams that feed the mighty Chicamocha River give way to impressive abysses that produce towering waterfalls.

Coffee plantations line the roadside, along with imposing trees and, further down, a variety of cacti. Upon arrival, a natural pool awaits us to cool off from the hot air at the bottom of the canyon. We’ll relax in hammocks, have lunch, and then take a short hike to visit El Chiflón, a place where the river narrows to just a few meters, revealing its full power.

Finally, we’ll stop in Jordán, a village of barely 50 inhabitants that has survived its geographical isolation, nestled among mountains 480masl. We’ll visit the historic Lengerke suspension bridge, which was of great importance in the past and connected the various towns of Santander with the port on the Magdalena River.
