The Chicamocha National Park also known as “Panachi” is located in the heart of the Chicamocha Canyon. The Chicamocha Canyon is more than 200 km long and from its highest peak down to the river approx. 2000 m deep. That means it is deeper than the famous Grand Canyon in Arizona, USA. The main attraction is the cable car that goes 1200 m down the canyon and up on the other side (duration: 30 minutes).
The theme park combines cultural and historical elements and offers adventurous activities such as an extreme swing, climbing down an artificial waterfall, virtual reality, zip lining, a waterpark, etc. Panachi is divided into three parts: The lower part at the cable car station is a little town representing Barichara with its colonial architecture. Going up more than 100 stairs you will find the monument “Monumento a la Santandereanidad” which represents the Revolution of the Comuneros, the first step of the Colombian independence. The third part is a 360-degree viewpoint of the canyon.

Great Discovery of the Santander Region with Wolf Tours
dlscps,Sep 15, 2024
- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00We engaged Wolf Tours to coordinate a 4 day, 3 night exploration of the Santander region. They planned an excellent experience for us including city touring in Bucaramanga, paragliding, coffee plantation tour,Juan Curi waterfall, Chicamocha canyon, old town in Giron, outdoor market, caves near Paramo and the beautiful town of Baricharra. Wow, now that I summarize this, I realize that we did a lot! Given the mountains and the road network, it takes time to get from place to place but we enjoyed every aspect of our trip. We coordinated the itinerary with Sebastian and Hugo was our English-speaking guide. Hugo was with us the entire time and we adjusted the itinerary based on our desires and changing conditions (like a truckers' strike which resulted in a blocked road). Despite the strike, Hugo got us back to Bucaramanga via a dirt back road through some nice towns (such as Galan) that are only reachable by these back roads. It was an adventure which allowed us to see more and still make our flight. I highly recommend working with Wolf Tours. The Santander region is a part of Colombia that is not frequented by international tourists but it really offers access to nature and time away from the largest cities. They call Bucaramanga a small town but it's 1 million people!
Creative, Flexible Guide Maneuvered Around Weather, Unexpected park closure

5.00So what do you do if you want to see Chicamocha Park and Canyon but the park is unexpectedly CLOSED and it's RAINING in the mountains? Well hopefully you have the resourceful Hugo as your resourceful guide and driver. We were grateful to see the canyon from a number of viewpoints before fog overtook it, and while we were disappointed to not get to ride the cable car, that was the park authority's sound. Hugo treated us to a short hike departing from the deceptively quiet (it's packed on weekends mountain village of Los Santos, where we also enjoyed a fine espresso and some fresh-fried empanadas in what would have been the shadow (no sun today) of the oversized church, now under revocation, that looms over the central plaza. Later we walked through the magnificent tropical gardens park in Bucaramanga. Hugo, who dearly loves his hometown city, had two more visit tricks up his sleeve to make up for our weather-dampened day, but we were tired and in need of a nap. Who knows what he might have shared with you? Wolf Tours will work with you!
Great trip in Chicamocha
