A wet, wild and wonderful adventure
This activity requires a moderate level of fitness and flexibility, as it involves walking through water over rocky terrain and exploring a cave, which includes some light rock climbing. The trip also includes an exhilarating rafting experience on the Río Claro, which makes it even more adventurous. Despite the physical challenge, it’s incredibly fun—truly unforgettable. I wouldn’t trade the experience for anything. Some tips for future participants: wear water shoes or sneaker with good grip; bring a dry bag or waterproof pouch for valuables, especially your phone or camera; wear lightweight, quick-drying clothing—you’ll get completely soaked; bring a change of clothes for after the adventure, there is space available to change and even take a shower if you'd like to; bring a small torch or headlamp for the cave section—it’s pitch black inside. Shoes and pouches for your phone are available for sale at the starting point. Be prepared to get out of your comfort zone—especially in the cave—but trust the guides; they’re excellent and make sure everyone feels safe.

This tour is legit. Gautape doesn’t compare. Good for English speakers too.
I went as a solo traveler speaking a little Spanish. This tour is legit. We started off early at 420 am from El Poblado park in a tour bus with ~40 people. At first, the tour is Spanish only. We stopped at a roadside restaurant for breakfast then arrived at a hotel that partners with the rafting company, around 3-4 hours after departure (8-9 in the morning). Here, the ones that are rafting/adventuring broke off from the tour bus (I’m not sure where the rest of the bus went). We changed clothes at the hotel and stored our things in a locked hotel room. The hotel will sell you a waterproof case bag thing for your phone, and also water shoes (crocs) if you need them for 20 mil each. Everyone took just their bathing suit, shirts, water shoes, and waterproof phone thing with them, plus cash in the waterproof thing. From this point you will be away for 6 hours, but there is a little tienda in the middle to buy lunch snacks and beverages. We left this hotel and went to the rafting rendezvous. There were about 30 people total across 4 rafts with this one company (10 from this particular tour I’m reviewing). One of the guides, Johnny, speaks English which is a huge relief. I also had other English speakers from Caracao in my raft and they were real fun. Shoutout to them. The river is safe, warm, and beautiful. We rafted for a bit and it is Class 1- very easy. We also swam alongside the raft and stopped a few places to jump off trees and adventure. Then we got to a little beach for lunch snacks. After that we floated in the river no raft for 20 mins to the hike spot. Then we hiked up a small river to the cavern for 45 mins. I highly recommend bringing your own waterproof shoes with grip and a rock plate for this (I brought trail running shoes). The cavern is awesome. Completely pitch black with bats and owls that make screeching sounds. Out of this world. The guides gave everyone a flashlight. Totally safe and fun. We hiked through the cavern for 30 mins, then back to the road for 30 more mins where we were picked up and went back to hotel. We had lunch there and you can also buy ice cream and beers. Then the original bus picked us up around 430pm and we drove to Medellin. Traffic was bad that day and we got back at 11. Amazing tour. Way more fun than Gautape and I can’t believe it was only $65 in July 2023. Be sure to tip your raft guide well.

10 out of 10
I've been traveling Colombia for 6 weeks and we've done tons and tons of tours. This rafting tour was absolutely the best tour we did. I went with my 6 year old daughter and we had a blast. We had breakfast and lunch including,plus the bus ride. Only down side was the long bus ride but it was so beautiful seeing the countryside of Colombia. The was was super comfortable. We went water rafting with the most amazing people and crew. Jonny and Sebastian were so helpful and kind. It was so beautiful rafting down the river ,then we walked up this magical river to a cave. The cave was out of this world with these oil birds who make these funny noises. Guatape was lame compared to this tour.

Tour to Río Claro and La Caverna del Cóndor: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cali.
How much does Tour to Río Claro and La Caverna del Cóndor cost?
+
Prices start at $107 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 Tour to Río Claro and La Caverna del Cóndor take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Tour to Río Claro and La Caverna del Cóndor worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Tour to Río Claro and La Caverna del Cóndor?
+
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 Tour to Río Claro and La Caverna del Cóndor suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour to Río Claro and La Caverna del Cóndor?
+
Around 1 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour to Río Claro and La Caverna del Cóndor 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 A day to enjoy nature and have an adventure in the Jordan river, Shared Tour of the Historical and Cultural Center of Cali, City Tour + Commune 13 Medellin. 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.
What is included in Tour to Río Claro and La Caverna del Cóndor?
+

Does Tour to Río Claro and La Caverna del Cóndor include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Tour to Río Claro and La Caverna del Cóndor offered in?
+
