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.
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.

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.
