Quebrada Las Gachas
A small stream with red rock beds near Guadalupe, where round natural pools are carved into the stone. It is nicknamed the Seven-Colored River.
The bed of Las Gachas stream is made of flat, reddish-brown sedimentary rock. Flowing water has carved out round potholes of various sizes, and visitors can sit in them to soak. It is often compared to a Seven-Colored River. The walk from Guadalupe town takes about 40 minutes, and you need non-slip shoes, since the depth of the potholes varies and you can slip easily. Guadalupe is about 2 hours by car from San Gil, and most people take a day tour there. Do not swim when the rainy season has made the water high and murky.
