          Rainforest Adventure in Medellin
          Arvi Park is a rainforest experience in Medellin! The tour service was amazing and led by our guide Andres. Andres was punctual, professional and a great person. His knowledge of the history and ease around the city was truly impressive! The views from the Metrocable are stunning and the artisan shops at the station entrance are inviting. We had some fresh strawberries and french pressed colombian coffee that were delicious. The history of the indiginous people of the region was interesting. If you are in Medellin, do yourself a favor and book this tour. Oh yeah, I almost forgot the hike down to the river and cascading falls...beautiful! Ask for Andres as your guide and you'll thank me later! Thank you Andres for being a wonderful part of our Medellin experience!

          Well worth the cost.
          The view was outstanding but if you have the option of taking a ride up to the top instead of the stairs it's worth the cost. I took the stair and I thought I was in good shape but the high attitude had me out of breath half way up.

          Tejo - great fun to play
          Artur was a fantastic guide from picking us up from the hotel to playing Tejo. He gave us a lots of information about the city and Colombia on the way to the courts which was really interesting and he then showed us how to play. Really good fun and would recommend.

          Amazing day trip from Medellin
          I absolutely loved this tour of Guatapé with Arturo. He is so knowledgeable about Colombian history and present day, and was able to provide an experience and education beyond just Guatapé, including Communa 13 and the history of the Black population in the country. The lunch was delicious and had a good vegan option and the boat ride was both fun and education, we get to see one of Pablo Escobar’s homes that was attacked after his death!
