What makes this tour unique is that it lets you experience Cali’s nature the way locals do, not as a crowded tourist attraction. You’ll visit a waterfall that Cali residents actually use to relax, swim, and escape the city. This is a small-group, flexible experience with no minimum number of travelers, so your tour runs even if it’s just you. You’ll spend real time swimming in natural pools, exploring the main waterfall, and—if you choose—hiking a short trail to a second hidden waterfall that many visitors never see. Unlike rushed tours, this half-day experience balances easy nature walks, swimming, and free time, making it ideal for solo travelers, couples, and families. Led by a local guide, it focuses on connection with nature, safety, and an authentic Cali lifestyle rather than a scripted itinerary.

Majestic Falls
Even though it was raining , it was majestic..The rain kept other people away so we had the falls to our self

Beautiful Cali Waterfalls!
What a wonderful and beautiful experience. Mateo, our guide, was excellent. Full of local knowledge and understanding of what we wanted. The driver Alberto was great as well. We opted to hike to the upper waterfall and it was well worth it. We were the only ones there! It definitely felt like a private experience. The water was so refreshing and being able to relax on a sunny rock made it such an amazing journey. The second/main waterfall was great as well. Thank you Mateo for such a great time explaining what was around us as well as the ins and outs of Cali. Thank you for treating us like we were family.

Great Views and Solo Waterfall Experience
Mateo is an amazing local guide, full of wisdom about the city of Cali, the wildlife, natural resources and culture in the area. He picked us up via taxi cab, our driver was Alberto, equally amazing and friendly! Both gentlemen were kind, full of life and safety was a priority. The traffic can be crazy in Cali, but we had a pleasant riding experience with Alberto! He actually bought us a fry bread and a beer. Mateo took us to 2 beautiful waterfalls in a serene mountainside area next to the Ponce River where locals come to enjoy the beauty of nature and unwind. We hiked to the top waterfall with Mateo as our trusted guide, and he allowed us to enjoy the space solo. Since we went on a Thursday morning, it wasn't very crowded and we were able to enjoy the waterfall alone. It was a great delight to bask in the sun and cleanse in the falls. I am glad we went to the top first, as when we came down to the first fall, there were people there enjoying the water. We had an equal amount of fun with the locals, but it always nice to enjoy nature in solitude. Thank you Mateo and Alberto! When we return, we shall get up early for some bird watching. Mateo is also an experienced bird watcher. Wonderful experience and we would definitely do it again!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cali River Waterfall Tour (4 hours): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cali.
How much does Cali River Waterfall Tour (4 hours) cost?
+
Prices start at $64 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cali usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cali River Waterfall Tour (4 hours) take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cali is not rushed.
Is Cali River Waterfall Tour (4 hours) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cali, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cali River Waterfall Tour (4 hours)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cali River Waterfall Tour (4 hours) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cali River Waterfall Tour (4 hours)?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cali can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cali and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cali River Waterfall Tour (4 hours) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cali within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Cali?
+
On Outty we rank every Cali experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour Guatapé, A day to enjoy nature and have an adventure in the Jordan river, Shared Tour of the Historical and Cultural Center of Cali. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Cali?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Cali?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
