Take a day trip to this spectacular 180m-high waterfall where you can swim in the natural pool at its base or relax on the rocks. Adventure junkies can rappel the sheer face of the falls; book this activity with one of the tour companies. Juan Curi is 22km from San Gil on the road to Charalá. Charalá buses depart twice hourly from the local bus terminal.
Ask to be let off at 'Las Cascadas,' where two 20-minute trails lead up to the falls. Most travelers choose the cheaper (though slightly less adventurous) trail at Juan Curi Parque Ecologico. If you like food, combine a trip here with a stop in Valle de San Jose for the famous chorizo cooked in guarapo (fermented sugarcane juice) at Piqueteadero Doña Eustaquia .
