Overview

Swimming in the river and going on nature walks are popular leisure activities among tourists. River tubing through the rapids (drifting in large inflatable tyres) is also very popular. There is a small primary school in San Cipriano.

San Cipriano is well known for its unique transportation system; to get there from Cordoba, you must travel using small, flat, open train carts called "brujitas", which use the abandoned railway and are usually made of wood. They are powered either by a hand pump or a motorbike that pulls it.[1]

Climate

San Cipriano has a tropical rainforest climate (Af) with heavy to very heavy rainfall year-round.
