My girl and I did the trip to Guatape with helicopter, neither of us had been on one, and it was an amazing first time. Absolutely beautiful, the guide was very good. Spoke English well, and went at our pace, never felt rushed or dragging on. The last minute we decided to go paragliding also. That was amazing. Incredible sights with true professionals. I'll definitely be using Ecoventures services in the future.
