Highlights
The Chicamocha Canyon is over 125 miles long (200 km) and from the river to its tallest peak approximately 1.25 miles (2000 m) high. This makes it a greater depth than the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The piece de resistance is the cable car which travels 0.75 miles (1200m) down into the canyon and also up on the opposite side, with a total travel time of ½ hour giving you plenty of time to take the perfect photo. The actual theme park is a combination of historical and cultural events as well as supplying more adventurous activities such as climbing an artificial waterfall, zip lining, an extreme swing, virtual reality, a waterpark, trampolines and more.

Although this is the 2nd largest canyon in the world, it is over 125 miles in length (200 km) and from the river to its tallest peak approximately 1.25 miles (2000 m) in height. In a little over 45 minutes, you’ll arrive to the Mesa de Los Santos cable car station. At this point you’ll climb into one of the 38 cable cars that travel along this 6.3km (3.9mi) track, down 4000ft (1.2km) to the Chicamocha River in the sole of the Chicamocha Canyon, and up again the other side of the canyon and into Panachi. Your ride will provide you with wonderful panoramic views. You’ll enter into Panachi, and enjoy a walking tour of this grand park on the top of the world. Your tour will include the Guane museum, where you’ll learn about the history of the small town and the Guane Indians. You’ll also have time for some lunch (not included) before heading back.

About Bucaramanga
Bucaramanga, capital of Santander in Colombia's Andes, is a warm city of parks, close to the Chicamocha canyon and old colonial towns.
Bucaramanga sits on a plateau at about 960 metres in the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes, in north-eastern Colombia, and the climate is warm without being sticky. It is called the City of Parks, and shady plazas such as García Rovira, beside the cathedral, fill with people in the evening. Neighbourhoods like Cabecera hold the cafés, restaurants and shopping.
