What’s a chiva?
Chivas, also known as buses escalera (ladder buses), are somewhat rickety-looking vehicles made of a wooden frame constructed atop a typical bus chassis. The interior is covered (though all the windows are open) and often has benches or seats for human passengers, and the roof, accessible through the ladder that gives the chiva its nickname, can be used for transporting any goods that will stay put up there. Traditionally, chivas have been used in rural zones of both Colombia and Ecuador to carry produce, animals, plants, travelers, family members and anything else that needed to be brought somewhere else. The trucks are usually painted bright colors (often the red, blue and yellow of the Colombian flag) and given unique names by their drivers, which are painted on the front above the driver. Though the advent of more secure transportation methods have rendered chivas mostly obsolete as far as the economy is concerned, they’ve staged a comeback as popular party vehicles, and it’s not uncommon to spot several of them during a night out in the zona rosa (nightclub area) of one of Colombia’s major cities.

Thank you, and agree with you (reference box) that "boat tour" may not be enough. That is why I left it. The video link I posted appears to be for "sightseeing/educational purposes", not just fun and sun. Regards.
