A small sleepy town 74km from Bogota, Tobia is quickly making a name for itself as a Mecca for adventure sports. In a green wooded valley flanked by steep mountains, it has the second highest zip-line in South America and plenty in the way of adrenaline-pumping entertainment, from kayaking and white-water-rafting to absailing and canopying. The Rio Negro river runs by the village, a place filled with lovely restaurants, bars and friendly unassuming locals. A place where tranquility and euphoria stand side-by-side, our collection of the best places to stay in Tobia will make your stay all the more enjoyable.
The lesser-known sister of the popular adventure sports town, San Gil, Tobia has it all. Despite being close to Bogota, most locals haven't even heard of this laid-back tropical paradise deep in the mountainous rainforest, making it all the more lovely for a stay. A peaceful village where it seems that there are more dogs than humans, walking down the streets you regularly see locals sipping beer outside their homes, watching the world move slowly by.
Nearby are ranches, many of which run adventure sports activities like paintballing and horse riding, while the village itself caters to white water rafting, rappeling, kayaking, mountain biking and absailing.
But if extreme sports are not your cup of tea, there is still plenty to feast your eyes on. The village is nestled in a beautiful natural setting and the banks of the Rio Negro are wonderful to walk down to spot tropical plants and rare birds. The mountains themselves are great for long hikes and the restaurants and bars in the village have a friendly and laid-back atmosphere to them.
Our pick of the best places to stay in Tobia are comfortable properties ideal for relaxing after a long day of extreme sports.
For location, you couldn’t do better. Casa De La Estacion is a simply decorated and very comfortable guesthouse sitting beside the river in Rio Negro Canyon forest. After a long day's adventuring, unwind in the swimming pool, restaurant or private cinema.
