Fabian el Mago es maravilloso

Mar 2025 • Friends

I had such an exhilarating day with Fabian el Mago! When he first picked us up he was so friendly. I felt very comfortable with him. He was nice and informative. He also happens to free flow reggaeton extremely well! He was there at every moment to help with something, if needed. I didn't realize that I couldn't carry anything with me during the paragliding, and he was able to hold on to my things for me. He took several photos of me taking off. What an experience! I have never run to the edge of a cliff thousands of feet up in the air and jumped off before. What a great time! He also took us white water rafting at a secondary location. He waited in the car for hours while we were gone. He was fun to talk to and fun to listen to. Fabian also showed us some cool magic tricks. Very impressive! I would recommend Fabian El Mago as a guide to anyone who is interested in having an incredible experience in Medellín.

Great day on class V rapids on the Calderas River.

Great experience from pick up to drop off. We had a lovely driver named Jorge who drove us about 2 hours from our hotel to the rafting spot. For the final few km, we hopped in a 4WD pick up truck to descend to the riverbed of the Calderas River. We had to walk a short way down a rocky road and then a narrow, muddy path through the tropical forest. Sandals with a heel strap are recommended. This was a serious and fun river run! It started off calmly and ramped up to multiple class V rapids! We didn’t see other rafts or humans for the entire 11km journey! We saw gold panning equipment along the river, but hardly any other signs of human life for 2 hours! Lots of beautiful flora and water birds along the way. The team, including another Jorge, Livardo, and the driver was professional. They gave us the requisite safety talk and instructions, helped us secure our belongings, and were very friendly. Midway, they treated us to a beautiful spread on giant banana leaves including pineapple, trail mix, bocadillos, corn cake, cacao, and mango juice. We all passed out on the ride back to Medellin. It was a day that will forever be planted in our wonderful memories of Colombia! Highly recommend.
