Reasons to experience the rafting tour in Tobia
The river that winds throughout the region, called Río Negro, features class III rapids. This makes it perfect for practicing Rafting, as its intermediate level of difficulty is ideal for beginners and still exciting for the most experienced rafters.
Upon arrival at the location, a jeep will take you upstream to the starting point, where you will receive instructions from expert guides. They will make sure you have a fun, exciting, and, most importantly, completely safe experience.
The 7 km journey downstream lasts approximately one hour, during which the river will surprise you every 5 minutes with a new challenge that will push your adrenaline to the limit. You will also pass through calmer stretches that will allow you to appreciate the immeasurable natural wealth of this magical place that will never cease to amaze you.
Afterward, you can discover the true flavor of Tobia through its gastronomy, which stands out for the use of fresh local products that will help you recharge your energy.
Don't think twice! Contact Hansa Tours and escape the city to connect with nature and live the unique experience of conquering the Río Negro. Remember that all our tours include a professional guide who will pick you up and drop you off right at your hotel door or home.

I am a historian from Bogotá, with a Master's degree in environmental history. I am passionate about the heritage, local history and nature of the Bogotá and Zipaquirá region. I like cycling, mountain views and a good coffee with a good conversation.
Welcome to Colombia, the country of magical realism and natural and social biodiversity. My goal is for all visitors to feel a unique experience within the rich Colombian culture and history.
Sebastián Giraldo
Colombia has given me everything I am and what I have, from my way of thinking to how I eat. Bogotá has built my identity and has shown me that just by getting on a bus I can see the contrasts of a nation that we continue to build day by day.
From my work and my profession, I not only want to show the beautiful face of the country where I was born, but also its history, resilience, strength, the warmth and flavor of its people, and that those who visit us can say with conviction "I love Colombia!".
I am Sebastián Giraldo, an innate traveler. I love music, fruits, languages and learning about my culture and that of the world. I am willing to leave a pleasant Colombian mark on your experience in our country.
Samara Pérez
Being Colombian is a profound privilege; this country, embraced by mountains, rivers, and an abundance of fruits, and home to warm, cheerful, resilient, and salsa-loving people, has enriched me in countless ways. Through my career in economics and my unwavering love for Colombia, I aspire to showcase a different aspect of this country.
Its history is a narrative that continues to shape our present. Guiding others through Bogotá is an extension of the deep affection I hold for it. My aspiration is to elevate its reputation and have visitors fall even more in love with it.
Fluent in English, my objective is to ensure that each person can savor the finest of Bogotá experiences.

By the end of the week, I felt I'd made a new friend and was leaving a city I had fallen in love with. If and when we get to go back, I'll be asking Daniel to take us to more sites and share more of his favorite places with us. I can't adequately express how much his time and dedication to our trip meant to me. Absolutely wonderful tour guide.
Jessy CanadaExcellent tour all around. Arian was our guide and she was fun, entertaining and knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
Marc USAOur guide, Marcello, gave us a fantastic tour, his knowledge about the city of Bogota is admirable. Thanks to him we had a wonderful and memorable day.
