Swimming holes & slow days

After rafting and jumping, sometimes the best adventure is lying on a warm rock next to cold water. The countryside around San Gil has natural swimming spots, and in town there's Parque El Gallineral — moss-draped trees on an island where the Curití stream meets the Fonce, as Colombia's tourism board describes it.

Water levels change with the rain. Ask the team which spot they'd pick today and how to get there — and never swim alone or after heavy rain.
