5.00It's an amazing experience to visit mesetas, the rafting by the Guejar Canyon took 5 hours of some rapids, incredible views. All was very good organized not only by the Willytour company but also by the whole community all along the travel, but this is not the only experience, for other days you can go to beautiful waterfalls where you can swim and very nice walks to the waterfall at Arenales. You can have an incredible view of the surrounds of Mesetas going up to the Mirador del Indio Acostado, where you can distinguish The andes mountains, eastern planes and the mountains chains that are older than Andes. A great surprise is that these zone was zone of violence and now is place of peace and of really important integration of the community to attend you in a very good way
Exciting and enjoyable experience.

5.00The trip to Guejar Canyon with Impulse was an excellent decision. From the beginning everything was very well planned and on the trip everything went perfectly. They are a very committed Enterprise with Traveller Experience, Locals and the Mood. The local guides were exceptional and know myy well the territory and pass it on with passion. It is worth noting the work of social transormation that Impulse has supported in these post-war sonas, destinations that were previously impossible to visit and that tourism now gives a new light. Highly recommended this trip for anyone who wants to have an escape from the city and get to know deep Colombia.
One of the most beautiful corners of Colombia!

5.00This has been one of the most amazing experiences I have ever had traveling this country and one I would recommend to anyone! The landscapes are spectacular, the nature abundant, the experiences offered by Impulse are perfect for exploring the territory and the local guides are the best company: they know the geography, history and culture like no one else and are always willing to share their knowledge with the best of attitudes. It's a magical place! Everything was very well organized, the vegetarian options in all places were delicious and the accommodation very comfortable, with the opportunity to live the local experience. It was a perfect trip!

5.00Güejar is an up and coming destination in Colombia. Located just 5 hours away from Bogotá by car, Mesetas Is a small town that has seen a huge transformation after the peace agreement. Surrounding the town, there is a vast and rich natural setting with waterfalls, rivers and mountains. Just 5 years back, it was imposible to visit. This trip with Impulse exceeded my expectations. Everything was carefully planned and the accommodated every traveler's needs. Their local operation was spotless. They work with the local community they have super high standards of sustainability. I highly recommend this trip for travelers who want to go beyond the main Colombia route and who want to experience Colombia's lush nature that has been kept hidden for so many years.

5.00The trip with Impulse to the municipality of Plateaus has as its main attraction the Güejar River Canyon, however we were impressed with the natural, cultural, gastronomic and historical wealth surrounding the whole experience! Completely recommended, everything very well organized, the accommodation very good, away from the village, ideal in times of pandemic. Good protocols from Biosecurity, a great operator in Plateaus, on fantastic guides. Many thanks and congratulations to Jefferson and Milaidy de Corpoturem who made the trip an unforgettable experience.
