Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
San Gil is Colombia's adventure capital — whitewater rafting on the Suárez and Fonce rivers, paragliding, and canyoning all group solo travelers together naturally. The town is compact, safe, and very traveler-oriented. The nearby Barichara colonial village (one of Colombia's most beautiful) is a perfect solo half-day trip. Prices here are some of Colombia's most budget-friendly.
