Here you will find the perfect balance of quality, safety, and authenticity to experience Bogotá from a different perspective.
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.

Unforgettable tours and experiences from our clients
See what our clients have to say about their incredible tours through Bogotá and various destinations across Colombia.
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.
