This was a great experience, in which all the members of my group thoroughly enjoyed themselves.It started out with a simple whatsapp message to the number provided by the Ecoventure website. From there, the coordinator will provide you with all the information you'll need in order to plan your adventure. My review begins here, the coordinator was very accommodating and was able to program our excursion despite us being a small group of just 3 people. She also coordinated the transportation to pick us up directly from our apartment and bring us to and from the excursion meeting point.In our case, the transportation was punctual, and was accommodating to the fact that the entire group wasn't 100% ready to go at the appointed time. Once we reached the meeting point, we were greeted by the Ecoventure team, then introduced to the other small groups who were to join us on our excursion.The meeting point was a restaurant from which we were given a traditional Antioquenian breakfast of scrambled eggs, arepa de chocolo, and quesito. From there, we all loaded up into a jeep and headed towards a small town called San Francisco. The ride is around an hour long, and it's journey up a mountain towards a small schoolground. That small schoolground is where the hike begins!Fast forward through the hike, the rafting, the lunch, more rafting, waterfall, and more rafting. We all can gladly conclude that this was a day well spent.

Wow what an incredible experience! We enjoyed every minute of our excursion - from floating down the river to seeing monkeys in the trees to overcoming the 4/5 rapids! Unforgettable and can’t wait to do it again!

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:
