“This was an amazing tour! Daniel was an awesome guide. He took us to really cool spots along the Melcocho river and nearby towns. Lots of sightseeing too. The food that he and his family cooked for us was delicious. He really went above and beyond I couldn't recommend this tour enough. 11/10”
Private Medellin adventure with two long zip lines, Hammocks in Heaven, and a waterfall hike near La Ceja.
“Had a great time with Philippe. Explored Cascada Salto Del Buey and the surrounding area. If are looking for an adrenaline rush, the zip lines are 330 meters high.”
Steep Medellín hike in Envigado with guide Erwin Gomez Remirez, forest plants, and swim-friendly waterfalls.
“Erwin was great, so knowledgeable, fun, and kind!!! He def knew his way around and couldn’t have imagined doing something like this alone or without a solid guide. Hike was tiring in a good way, not overly challenging but with some stops about 3.5 hours to two waterfalls which were gorgeous! Highly recommend if you want a beautiful nature filled experience and like being very active! Will def do another hike with him next time I’m here!”
Guided Medellín waterfall hike from Poblado into the forest, with swimming and a snack of cheese sandwich, coffee, and a banana.
“We had an amazing hiking experience! The scenery was breathtaking, and the tour guides went above and beyond to make sure we felt comfortable and safe throughout the entire hike. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the journey so enjoyable that we loved every single moment. Highly recommend this experience to anyone who enjoys adventure and great company!”
Half-day hike from Medellín to La Miel waterfall in Andean cloud forest, with river trail, natural pools, and swimming.
“Great experience! Nice way along a river. Saw many butterflies. Had the opportunity to swim under a waterfall!”
