Tours in Montenegro, Quindío

Montenegro is one of the most visited municipalities in Quindío: here you will find the Parque del Café and, a few minutes from town, the La Vieja River runs through bamboo groves and forest, marking the border between Quindío and the Valle del Cauca.

On the river you can choose between two adventures of about 5 hours leaving from Montenegro: kayaking, a calm paddle for the whole family, and rafting, a 14 km run through the rapids of the upper river (minimum 5 people). Both include transport from Montenegro, a traditional lunch, snacks, a guide and insurance, with certified equipment.

It is an ideal plan to trade the mountains for water during your trip through the Coffee Region. Choose your option, review the details and book online, with no hidden costs.
