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.

Best Nature in San Gil for Solo Travelers

Parque El Gallineral
Nature
A riverside park on an island between two branches of the Río Fonce, right in San Gil, where huge trees are draped in long curtains of grey 'Spanish moss'. Shady paths and footbridges wind through it, and there's a natural swimming pool fed by spring water. A cool, magical escape from the midday heat; there's a small entry fee.
