A popular place with tourists and adventure sports enthusiasts this town has some thing for everyone.

Park in San Gil

Boasting fantastic adventure sports like, rafting, paragliding, abseiling and an amazing park which provides an insight into the towns of the region of Santander.

The park is littered with these large trees with moss hanging from them which really gives you a jungle atmosphere and you really wouldn’t think you were in the middle of a town with a population of over 35,000.

You will find plenty of gringo’s about town as it is a popular place for them to visit and generally station them selves there as it has so much to do.
Last time I was there I spoke to several Canadians  who loved the place so much they just didn’t get on their flight home and planned to stay and teach English.
