Adventure · San Andrés
Steep, hot and humid with little shade in places. Go early, carry more water than you expect to need. Requires being on Providencia — see the boat day for access notes.
A hike up through dry tropical forest to the highest point of Providencia at 360 metres, where the whole barrier reef becomes visible at once as a bright ring of colour around the island.
A private guide, an early start before the heat, and a boat waiting for a swim afterwards.

Twenty to thirty minutes off the San Félix ridge with the whole Aburrá Valley underneath you and Medellín laid out end to end. The take-off is two steps and then the ground is a long way down.

A river running clear over white marble through a jungle canyon, with grade II–III rapids and a cave system you enter by wading and swimming in the dark. It is the best adventure day within reach of Medellín and it is a very long one.
