If you are looking for fun and adventure, San Gil is definitely your place. There is rafting, paragliding (called parapente), rappelling, caving, you name it! There are also all different kinds of tour companies, from the true Colombian to the English-speaking. We went with the Colombian and made some lifelong friends along the way. Also, as in many many Latin towns, El Centro was a favorite place to be. The park was always filled with people, women dressed to the nines walking around on the cobblestones in their stilettos, children running around, tinto everywhere... It was our favorite in all of Colombia!
