Forrest Experience of a Lifetime!
This is a tour like no other! It all starts with comfortable transportation, friendly and knowledgeable guide and extreme attention to details. Great stop along the way for breakfast, Followed with arrival in San Cipriano and the thrilling brujita ride into the village. The village is safe, colorful and in the center of this magical forest with a clear water river running through it. We were a family of 18 with members ranging in ages from 9 to 62, and we all had a blast! Lunch was delicious and cooked by an amazing chef that has been cooking her family recipes for years, and only using natural and native ingredients. This trip was off the charts!!!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for every detail of your trip with us to San Cipriano. We've been visiting this wonderful place for over 10 years, and we want everyone we take to have the best possible experience of this magical location. We make sure every detail counts. Your happiness is our top priority. Thank you

An awesome experience!
Had an incredible time in San Cipriano today, swimming, hiking, tubing, and riding the motorcycle trains. Big shout outs to our local guide Yohan and Adventours guide Marcella for all the help making the day so enjoyable! Marcella has a real passion for the local area and people and it made the whole experience feel so much more authentic and enjoyable! Definitely recommend for a day trip to escape the city.
Response from the operator: This hidden treasure in the jungle isn't well-known to tourists, but we're so glad you enjoyed the experience with us. We take care of every detail to make it an unforgettable trip. Marcela and Jhojan love this tour. Thank you

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
San Cipriano Rainforest - River, Waterfalls and Adventure Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cali.
How much does San Cipriano Rainforest - River, Waterfalls and Adventure Day cost?
+
Prices start at $359 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 San Cipriano Rainforest - River, Waterfalls and Adventure Day take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 San Cipriano Rainforest - River, Waterfalls and Adventure Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 73 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 San Cipriano Rainforest - River, Waterfalls and Adventure Day?
+
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 San Cipriano Rainforest - River, Waterfalls and Adventure Day suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book San Cipriano Rainforest - River, Waterfalls and Adventure Day?
+
Around 26 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does San Cipriano Rainforest - River, Waterfalls and Adventure Day 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.
