Everything you need to know before discovering the nature reserve with the most crystal-clear rivers in Colombia.
San Cipriano is located in the municipality of Buenaventura, Valle del Cauca, about 2 hours from Cali on the Cali–Buenaventura road. You travel to the village of Córdoba, and from there you take the brujita, the famous motorcycle-powered rail cart that carries you through the jungle to the reserve. It is a one-of-a-kind experience in Colombia and an essential part of the adventure.

Explore the reserve's biodiversity →San Cipriano is an Afro-descendant community on Colombia's Pacific coast, heir to the tradition of the palenques: free settlements founded deep in the jungle by Africans who escaped slavery. Today that same community protects the nature reserve and manages tourism. Every visit directly supports local families and the conservation of the tropical rainforest.
