Colombia
Río Palomino
A scenic river in Colombia known for its clear waters & jungle-lined banks, popular for tubing and flanked by the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta.
Tips from the community
The little town of Palomino sits right on the beach, but the Palomino River is what really steals the show. Why, you might ask? Tubing. Lots of it. You can lackadaisically glide down the river from the jungle to the sea, all while sipping a beer. There’s no need to book in advance—just take a walk down Palomino’s main street (there’s only one, really) and you’ll find some local gents ready to take you to the best starting spots via motorbike. It’s easy to spend an entire afternoon leisurely floating, stopping at secluded riverside beaches as you please.
