About This Tour

A private day trip swapping Cali's city center for the natural beauty of El Queremal and the Anchicayá River, with refreshing natural pools and a waterfall reached without the trouble of hiring a car yourself for rugged countryside roads. This is a private day trip for your group only, traveling deep into the Colombian countryside.

El Queremal is a small town in the Dagua municipality of Valle del Cauca, about 47 kilometers west of Cali at roughly 1,450 meters elevation. It's the real gateway to the upper Anchicayá River watershed, a stretch of countryside that continues for several dozen kilometers further west along increasingly rugged roads — exactly the kind of route a private driver who already knows the terrain is genuinely useful for.

The Anchicayá River itself rises in the Farallones de Cali and flows northwest, eventually reaching the Pacific Ocean at Buenaventura Bay — meaning this day trip follows the very beginning of a river system that, by the time it reaches the coast, is one of the Pacific slope's major waterways. Along the way, the road climbs through subtropical cloud forest between about 1,200 and 2,000 meters, a zone that sits at the real transition between the lowland Chocó rainforest below and the higher Andean forest above, and is almost perpetually wrapped in fog, with trees so heavily draped in moss and epiphytes that the canopy itself looks alive.

This corridor is also one of the most celebrated birdwatching regions in the Neotropics, part of a broader stretch of western Colombia that ranks among the wettest places on Earth and consistently among the richest for bird diversity anywhere in the world — a fact most visitors never clock while they're simply cooling off in the river's natural pools, but one that's well documented by ornithologists who travel specifically to this watershed.
