Full day of exciting fun in nature
Jan 2025 • Friends
Excellent full day adventure.Diego, our guide, picked us up very promptly, and we traveled in a private car for ~1 hour to the paragliding location. The paragliding was thrilling but ultimately peaceful and provided gorgeous views of waterfalls and all sorts of natural beauty. I had never done it before but loved it and felt very safe.We had a nice hearty lunch back at the top of the ridge, and then Diego brought us to meet our rafting guides.After a short drive to the river and quick walk through an incredible tropical path, we were ready to hop in the raft. Our rafting guide provided instruction and taught us how to respond in case of an emergency. The entire time we were accompanied by a safety kayaker as well. The rafting was so fun, my friends and I had a great time. A good mix of more tranquil portions and very exciting rapids.After spending at least 2 hours on the river (which went by in a flash), our guides put together a lovely spread of snacks for us. Diego then met us and brought us back to Medellín.Could not recommend this strongly enough! So fun, helpful and responsive operator, and really wonderful guides!

Paragliding & White Water Rafting Fun
Nov 2024 • Friends
The paragliding was so peaceful & beautiful scenery. Our driver Diego was amazing. Very nice and very knowledgeable of Colombia. The white river rafting was actually very fun. It was our first time to do either activity. It’s worth it to pay for both. Everyone was very accommodating & our guide stayed with us all day making sure we safely made it back to our hotel. It was an amazing experience & I can’t wait to do them both again.
