Great oportunity of inmersion in nature and the beauty from volcanic activity shown up in this beautiful river, visiting the place where this river gets it's amazing light blue color called " Teñidero"

After having all of this, but not before charging some energy back with a delicious tipical lunch. Why not to have some adeventure?. Our tubing experience will give you tons of fan going trhough floaty sections of water and slight rapids.
