San Cipriano Eco Tour: Pacific Biodiversity & River Fun

Waterfalls, lush jungle, rich biodiversity, scenic nature trails, and crystal-clear swimming pools—all in one incredible destination.

Get ready for an adrenaline-packed escape! San Cipriano, just outside Buenaventura, Colombia, is a hidden jungle paradise where adventure meets pure nature. Ride the legendary wooden rail carts (“brujitas”) through dense rainforest, float down crystal-clear rivers on tubing adventures, and hike secret trails that lead to breathtaking waterfalls and hidden swimming holes.

The jungle is alive around you: toucans, parrots, and hummingbirds flit above, while monkeys swing overhead and butterflies, lizards, and exotic insects bring the forest floor to life. Splash in natural pools, discover hidden caves, and feel the thrill of exploring an untouched, biodiverse wonderland.

But the adventure isn’t just in nature—it’s in the culture too. Meet local Afro-Colombian communities, taste authentic Colombian dishes, and soak in the rhythms, stories, and warmth of people who have called this paradise home for generations.

Every corner of San Cipriano is a photo-op, every trail an adrenaline rush, and every moment a memory you’ll never forget. Whether you’re tubing, hiking, birdwatching, or swimming beneath waterfalls, this is a destination made for adventurers, explorers, and nature lovers ready to experience the extraordinary.
