Picturesque paraglide and more!

I experienced one of the most amazing and scenic paraglides in my life! The pilot took me up and down the mountain range and also made a few passes of the incredible waterfalls. Fabian “the magician “ was also my driver and tour guide and bonus for giving me an inside look of all the scenery and cute towns we passed along the way. 5 Stars! I highly recommend this adventure!

An Amazing Day with Fabian – Highly Recommend!

Apr 2025 • Couples

This experience was amazing! My boyfriend and I were visiting for his 50th birthday, and it couldn’t have been more special. Our guide, Fabian, was absolutely fantastic, super friendly, incredibly knowledgeable about the city, and he spoke excellent English. He contacted us the night before to introduce himself and share important details about our pickup.Fabian was also very accommodating when we had to cut our trip short due to a last-minute afternoon appointment. He thoughtfully tailored the itinerary so we could still enjoy the full excursion without missing a thing.The paragliding experience was a thrill, handled by true professionals who made us feel safe and comfortable. Afterward, we headed to Guatapé (about an hour's drive) and climbed the famous rock to take in the breathtaking views of the lake and surrounding landscape.If you're looking to combine adventure with a rich cultural experience, this is the perfect tour. And definitely request Fabian—you won’t regret it!

Best paragliding experience ever!!

Apr 2025 • Couples

The trip was absolutely fantastic. Our tour guide Fabian was probably the nicest and coolest tour guide I’ve ever met and I’ve been traveling the world since I was 19. He never rushed us. He always taught us different stories in history about the places we were driving by. He made sure everything went very smooth. Thank you Fabian!!
