This is our first trip with Ecoventure and Tour Guide Julian. First I was nervous about paragliding, but Julian able to inspire me with all the wonderful stories. Thanks Julian, I owe you one. This is one of the epic locations, where you can paraglide and also experience the view of two water falls at same location, like a helicopter ride. Pilot of paraglide also wonderful, if you want go crazy with all the twists that you can do with paraglide and also gives you opportunity to become pilot for the paraglide for some time. I highly recommend this tour for everybody visiting Medellin area, including with kids and families.Also, on the same day, we have visited Comuna 13, and able to experience the history.
Must have experiences in Colombia. Thank you Fabián 🙌🏻
