Enjoy a unique river and mountain trekking experience on Cerro Quitasol, where the mountain and the water come together to offer you a trek full of excitement, nature, and connection. This activity has been designed for those looking to go beyond traditional trekking and enjoy a dynamic, refreshing, and different experience on one of the most iconic hills in the Aburrá Valley.
The day starts with a meeting at Niquía metro station and a short walk to the base of Cerro Quitasol. There, we'll give you some recommendations before entering the forest. From here, we'll begin our ascent along nature trails surrounded by vegetation, gradually getting closer to the riverbed, where the experience of walking in the water will take place.
The route combines hiking on mountain terrain with walking in the water, where we'll head upstream through rock formations, small waterfalls, and sections where the body becomes part of the environment. You'll feel the water, the natural flow of the river, and the energy of the forest in an immersive and completely different experience.
Throughout the journey, we will be accompanied at all times by local guides with experience in mountain and adventure activities, who will ensure the safety of the group and provide technical support at the most challenging points. This activity does not require previous experience, but it does require a basic level of fitness and a willingness to get wet, get dirty, and step out of your comfort zone.
The natural environment of Cerro Quitasol offers incredible landscapes, with views of the Aburrá Valley, the sounds of nature, and a constant feeling of exploration. As we progress, the group bonds, challenges itself, and enjoys a shared experience that goes beyond the physical.
The experience includes a professional guide, support throughout the activity, basic safety gear depending on the section, and medical assistance insurance. Depending on the day's logistics, drinks or snacks may also be included to recharge your batteries along the way.
To get the most out of this experience, it is recommended that you wear comfortable clothing that can get wet, shoes with good grip (ideally for wet terrain), and bring a change of clothes, water, sun cream, and an adventurous spirit. Not recommended for people with reduced mobility or medical conditions that may be affected by physical exertion on uneven terrain.
