San Cipriano Reserve
Reserva Natural San Cipriano
Ride a homemade railbike, nicknamed the 'witch,' through the rainforest to a Pacific village where you can float and swim in clear river water.
San Cipriano is a rainforest reserve beside the road from Cali to Buenaventura. The village has no road connection. The only way in is from Córdoba, riding a 'witch car' (brujita), a motorbike mounted on a wooden platform on wheels and converted by local people. It travels along the old railway for about 20 minutes, and the ride is thrilling and fun. The river near the village is crystal clear. Visitors can rent inner tubes to float downstream or swim in the deep pools. The coordinates are for the 'witch car' boarding point in Córdoba. The trip from Cali takes about 2 hours, so it can be done as a day trip. A reserve entrance fee is required. After rain, when the river rises, take care.
