San Cipriano Reserve
San Cipriano is a wonderful place to walk, disconnect from the city and share with nature. I recommend this shared tour and Juan Camilo is a great guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the beauty of San Cipriano and the opportunity to connect with nature. It’s great to know Juan Camilo made the experience even better with his guidance. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Colombia with Gran Colombia Tours soon!

Nature's Waterpark
San Cipriano is around 2.5 hours from San Antonio, Cali and is well worth the journey. The car ride alone gives spectacular birds eye views across the city as you climb over the mountains and then decend into green valleys thick with jungle. The second stage of the trip starts when you arrive at a small but bustling street off the main road, where you are efficiently packed onto a contraption known as a "Brujita" or, "Little Witch". A mode of transport which is essentially a wooden pallet with a roof and narrow benches bolted to a dirt bike and nested onto rail tracks that lead through the jungle. Little Witch is accurate as you'll find yourself cackling like a crone as you're buzzed along the tracks and through the forest at 15mph. Upon reaching San Cipriano, a village consisting of two streets lined with rudimentary hostels and eateries, our guide Santiago leads us to the river and our 1st swimming stop. The river is shallow but the current can be very strong and dragged me off my feet and downstream a few times. It's not dangerous for anyone above the age of 15 but can be scary if you're not used to wading in Rivers or using the currents to your advantage. Make sure you bring shoes you can wear in the water as it will help you traverse the riverbed. Santiago then takes us to 3 more swimming spots, we really enjoyed his company and he would challenge us to swimming competitions and Spanish lessons, he would also check the depth of the river by diving down at junctions where you could jump from the banks. After a great lunch of Sawfish and fried plantain with rice, we headed back to the river for our transport back to the 1st swimming spot... an inflatable tube. The tubing was great fun, if the river is shallow, you might want to lift your arse up and above the water if you see incoming boulders... my partner found this out the hard way. Overall our trip was incredible, I highly recommend it. If you like to swim in fast flowing water, jump from 6m riverbanks, don't mind getting changed in a bathroom or out in the open or figuring some things out yourself (like raising your arse) then you'll have an incredible time. If you come here expecting to be molly coddled and treated like a Sultan, then why are you even here?
Response from the operator: Hola, Andrew! Thank you sooo much for taking the time to leave such a thorough and fun review. We're sure it will be really helpful to other travelers as you explained very well what is the tour really about. You are right about how worth it it is and how much fun you have with experience like this. We're happy to know Santiago did an amazing job and you even got to practice some Spanish with him. We think that these types of tour are the ones that showcase the best how the natural Colombia really is. Thank you for recommending us and choosing us!

Unforgettable Day!
Incredible full day surrounded by the nature and beauty of Colombia! The guide and driver were consummate professionals, knowledgeable and true experts on the area and full of great info to share. Impossible to pick a best part…the incredible brujitas ride we will never forget? Best coffee, chorizo and arepa in a great spot on the ride? Hike through the nature preserve to 2 waterfalls? Swim in crystal clear river? Flowers and trees at every turn? Delicious fresh lunch at a local spot outside the reserve? Impossible to pick from so many highlights. Thank you Angela and Carlos for an absolutely unforgettable day!!

Breathtaking experience
This trip ist definitely in my top 3 of nature turism. We had an amazing day full of exciting little adventures, all thanks to our great guide. Hector Fabio, did a wonderful job teaching us about local plants, animals and culture. He's a very knowledgeable, professional biologist. We had a blast!
Response from the operator: Hi, Lina! Thank you for this review of San Cipriano. We know that is is indeed a unique natural jewel in our country. We're glad to know you had such a great time with Hector Fabio too! You're always welcome to keep discovering Colombia with us!

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
San Cipriano & River Adventure Day Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cali.
How much does San Cipriano & River Adventure Day Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $121 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 & River Adventure Day Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 & River Adventure Day Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 12 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 & River Adventure Day Tour?
+
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 & River Adventure Day Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book San Cipriano & River Adventure Day Tour?
+
Around 4 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does San Cipriano & River Adventure Day Tour 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.
