        Its a nice trip all together!
        We did this trip with two tour guides, Julian and Fabian, and is our third trip with Ecoventure. Definitely will come back and recommend to people visiting Guatape or Medellin. Nice ATV ride for 1.5 hours and everybody in the group liked the ride, though some of us are inexperienced with ATV and able to handle it with little difficulties with the help of ATV company tour guides. They took some pictures on the way with no additional charge. Gautape tour was an awesome experience with Fabian, who is a magician and music lover, and willing to chat and share about near by locations and Columbian culture. Rock climbing is not that difficult, we are able to climb up 650 stairs within 30 minutes, easy peasy.

        What a location for paragliding!
        This is our first trip with Ecoventure and Tour Guide Julian. First I was nervous about paragliding, but Julian able to inspire me with all the wonderful stories. Thanks Julian, I owe you one. This is one of the epic locations, where you can paraglide and also experience the view of two water falls at same location, like a helicopter ride. Pilot of paraglide also wonderful, if you want go crazy with all the twists that you can do with paraglide and also gives you opportunity to become pilot for the paraglide for some time. I highly recommend this tour for everybody visiting Medellin area, including with kids and families. Also, on the same day, we have visited Comuna 13, and able to experience the history.

        Epic Experience of water fall
        I have visited water falls with 5 of my friends. Julian was our tour guide. He explained about the water falls and places on the route to the falls. We are able to stop at some places in between and take some pictures. This tour includes 4 activities. Zipline or Hammocks - some of us chose to do hammocks and some Zipline. Hiking down to water falls (difficult level 3), and rock climbing aside the water falls which is the best part of this tour with some additional cost which is totally worth. Julian took some nice pictures for all of us. Dont forget to get drenched under the mist coming from water falls. Also, I like the way he inspired us to go for rock climbing, which 4 of us did and felt best part of our whole Medellin trip. Thanks Julian for being our tour guide and working me for all last minute changes and scheduling.

        Amazing experience!!!
        We had an incredible experience with FABIAN! From start to finish, he was informative, kind, and incredibly friendly. He made us feel comfortable and well-prepared for our paragliding adventure, ensuring we understood everything while keeping the excitement alive. His knowledge of the city was impressive, and during our walking tour of Guatape, he shared fascinating insights that brought the history and culture to life. He also made sure we tried some of the most tastiest snacks along the way. His warm and welcoming personality made the entire experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and personable guide in Colombia! GRACIAS FABIAN, truly a jack of all trades! 😊🇨🇴

        Great tour for adventurous travelers
        It was one of the best experiences in our lives. Both Hammock Zip-line and Paragliding have an amazing views with full of nature and experienced staff took care of the rest. Julian was a great tour guide and couldn’t ask for more. He was knowledgeable and the drone pics and videos he took were amazing. We highly recommend this tour and no not miss this one in a lifetime experience.

        Outstanding experience - Fabian is the best!
        I went with my wife, my daughter, and my niece in mid-February 2025. Our guide, Fabian, maintained excellent contact with us even prior to the event and picked us up at our hotel in Medellin on time. Fabian was enthusiastic throughout the day and communicated perfectly in English, clarifying fun facts about the region and cities we visited. He even showed us some cool magic tricks during lunch in Guatapé. The paragliding experience itself was professionally organized and well executed, and we all had a lot of fun. Guatapé is gorgeous and certainly worth visiting. Fabian was also knowledgeable about the town and surrounding area and gave us a fascinating tour before helping us find the perfect restaurant to suit our needs (both girls are vegetarians and one is especially picky about her food but both were happy). Then we had a tight schedule to catch a flight out of Medellin to our next destination and Fabian made sure to leave enough time to drive us safely to the airport -- dropping us at our terminal exactly at our desired time despite some construction and traffic along the way. I strongly recommend the excursion overall -- ask for Fabian and you won't be disappointed.

        Amazing adventure tour with Fabian
        Fabian was a great guide, didn’t rush us on the amazing but difficult hike. He allowed us to go at our own pace and was very informative about the flora and fauna of Colombia. He was friendly and talkative and made our waterfall, zipline and hammock tour something we will never forget. Thank you Fabian!!

        Adrenaline Booster White Water Rafting
        Compared to other White Water Rafting trips, the one by Levandro & Danial was the most real experience. We went through a real adventure with all the adrenaline yet we without feeling at Risk. Will definitely recommend it to anyone traveling to Medellin.

        ‘Must do’ in Medellín
        Our guide (Fabian) made the activity better than we could have expected. He was extremely pleasant, helpful, and efficient. Fabian picked us up right at our house to make it easier for us. He brought water shoes for us to avoid having to buy them just for the rafting. He provided useful and interesting information throughout our trip and he even recommended delicious food/snacks along the way (fresh strawberries with cream was our favorite). The first activity was ATV which was fun, but the vehicles were not well maintained and burned oil/fuel, so the exhaust was very unpleasant. Fabian tried his best to accommodate us, but he had no control over the ATVs. Second activity was the whitewater rafting and it far exceeded our expectations. The rafting guides were very experienced and friendly. We felt safe even through the class 4 sections. We got a few chances to swim and we even got drinks and snacks provided. The scenery and the overall experience is a 5/5 (a must do)

      Where do I start with this experience? Our guide Juan Esteban was fantastic! He not only picked us up at our hotel, but is an amazing conversationalist and extremely thoughtful, knowledgeable and honest about the country, culture and people.

      We started the day with paragliding and I was a bit apprehensive at first but the crew made me feel at ease with their humor and confidence. I'm so glad I went, the feeling of being almost weightless and the views are out of a movie.

      Next we moved on to white water rafting and I enjoyed the crews relaxed outlook but still with safety being in mind. The relaxed portions were beautiful and scenic and the rapids were thrilling and exciting.

      All in all, I would highly recommend this trip to someone who wants to fit two amazing activities in one day and with a guide who goes as far as to even go rafting and is with you, every step of the way!

      My two brothers and I had an unforgettable adventure in Colombia, combining incredible rafting and breathtaking paragliding! The rafting experience was top-notch, with exhilarating Class 4 rapids that kept us on the edge of our seats. Afterward, we enjoyed a well-prepared, delicious meal that was the perfect way to recharge.

      The paragliding was equally amazing—soaring thousands of feet above the stunning landscape, we were treated to awe-inspiring views of not one but two massive waterfalls. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

      Fabian, our guide, made the trip even more special. From the moment we met him, he made us feel like lifelong friends. His energy, freestyle raps, magic tricks, and genuine enthusiasm brought so much life to the experience. He’s not just a guide—he’s an unforgettable part of the adventure.

      If you’re looking for a thrilling and authentic experience in Colombia, I can’t recommend this enough, especially with Fabian leading the way!

      This trip was so much fun. The paragliding is an unique experience with a beautiful view. The rafting was a lot of fun, the scenery beautiful and we all had a lot of fun. Our driver diego was the best and the guides from the rafting made us feel very safe and added extra fun with cliff jumping in the crystal clear waters of the river

      Excellent full day adventure.

      Diego, our guide, picked us up very promptly, and we traveled in a private car for ~1 hour to the paragliding location. The paragliding was thrilling but ultimately peaceful and provided gorgeous views of waterfalls and all sorts of natural beauty. I had never done it before but loved it and felt very safe.

      We had a nice hearty lunch back at the top of the ridge, and then Diego brought us to meet our rafting guides.

      After a short drive to the river and quick walk through an incredible tropical path, we were ready to hop in the raft. Our rafting guide provided instruction and taught us how to respond in case of an emergency. The entire time we were accompanied by a safety kayaker as well. The rafting was so fun, my friends and I had a great time. A good mix of more tranquil portions and very exciting rapids.

      After spending at least 2 hours on the river (which went by in a flash), our guides put together a lovely spread of snacks for us. Diego then met us and brought us back to Medellín.

      Could not recommend this strongly enough! So fun, helpful and responsive operator, and really wonderful guides!

      My partner and I highly recommend this trip. Every minute, from pickup at hotel to drop-off, was fantastic. The Ecoventure team is professional, they take safety seriously, and deliver a phenomenal adventure-filled day to customers. I am Colombian and I came with my partner who is from Germany. We both loved the paragliding and had a blast on the white water rapids - and neither one of us had done either activity before, so no experience is required. Just go with the flow and you’ll have a wonderful time. This was the perfect end to our weeklong vacation in Colombia.

      My friend and I use this company to book our excursion. We had the best time of our lives not only did they speak English and understand us, but they gave us a tour as well as an all-around history experience of the city. We had the best time paragliding, as well as rafting, this companies definitely recommendable.

      The paragliding was so peaceful & beautiful scenery. Our driver Diego was amazing. Very nice and very knowledgeable of Colombia. The white river rafting was actually very fun. It was our first time to do either activity. It’s worth it to pay for both. Everyone was very accommodating & our guide stayed with us all day making sure we safely made it back to our hotel. It was an amazing experience & I can’t wait to do them both again.

      This is an amazing full day tour that exceeded our expectations. The paragliding is epic and should not be missed! We took our 19 yr old and we all loved it. We felt very safe. If you are on the fence-just do it!! You won’t regret it. Transportation was timely and our driver Freddie was a great host who provided a lot of local information. We had a nice breakfast with a beautiful view while we waited for the rain the clear. It’s a beautiful spot above the canyon. Afterwards we had an amazing raft trip. The guides were well equipped, safety kayak was present and safety gear/training was provided. A beautiful snack was served midday. The water was warm and the rapids were the perfect combination of exhilaration and excitement. I highly recommend this tour for your visit to medellin! We did two tours through ecoventures and they were both outstanding in quality. We have traveled the world and have taken many tours - this was one of the best ever.
