OMG what an amazing day we just had from beginning to end : it surpassed my expectations .Paragliding above the giant waterfalls was breathtaking. My instructor made me feel really safe and the ride was smooth and enjoyable .We had opted to do also the Guatapé and Peñol tour and did not regret : the view from the top of the Peñol is magnificent and totally worth walking up the 700 stairs. And the town of Guatapé is simply a little gem with an explosion of beautiful colors.But what really made this experience superb was having Fabian as our tour guide.Knowledgeable, friendly, kind!Going above and beyond what was part of the tour to make us happy, teach us about a country that he loves and make sure that we had a pleasant and instructive time !!!Really Fabian, my husband and I cannot thank you enough for a day full of feel good vibes that we will for sure always Remember.

This was a great tour! We originally booked the paragliding tour but unfortunately the weather wasn't in our favor so we weren't able to do it. However, Julian was able to get us an ATV tour instead! It was so cool to see the countryside of Guatapé and we got to go on a cool bridge too. Overall it was a great tour and I'm grateful to Julian for making sure we got to have a fun experience even when our first plans didn't work out.

After our great experience with Fabian on the zipline hammock tour, we decided to book another activity with him - great decision! 🙌🏻After the 2hr drive from Medellin we climbed up the peñol, walked through Guatape including some cool places off the beaten track (s/o Fabian!) and then had a tasty lunch and went back.This was a fun experience and Fabian was great at giving us a special and personal tour despite the tourist crowds in Guatape.Thank you!

You must send to us the pictures of the passports and the migration stamp (the one they put you in the airport). This for insurances and to not extra charge 19% of IVA Colombian fee in your payment.
The most asked question — and here’s the truth: Colombia is a tropical wild card. Forecasts? Forget it. Weather apps dream, but we adapt in real time, tracking clouds and chasing clear skies. In years of exploring Medellín and Colombia’s lush landscapes, only paragliding occasionally gets grounded — and even then, it’s a rare 3% chance. The adventure never stops, it just changes shape.
Usually for some experiences we recommend tring to book on week days, like Guatape ones, especially on holy weekends. The seasons in Colombia where some places could be very crowded are the holy week in april and part of the june and december-january months because school vacation.
We are a tailor made travel company. We can offer experiences to combine different activities in one day or customize your entire itineray and get special deals until 15% of the total price. Do not hesitate to contact us and let us design the best experience and have the best time in our destination.
In Colombia still exist places where they don't have credit card machines or dataphones, so, we recommend you bring extra cash just in case. Average per day can be 50-100 USD.
Following you will find prices (american dollars USD) per person according your group size:
