Great paragliding experience - Paragliding was amazing! I got good wind and was able to land at the start position but my partner didn’t get to stay up for long and landed in the town. Guatapé and the rock were also cool to see. Sebastian was an excellent guide and took us to a great spot for lunch. We were the only ones in the car but it is a lot of driving for one day. It’s the distance/traffic between locations which can’t be controlled by the vendor. Overall would recommend.

Unforgettable Tour - Our Guatapé that included paragliding combined extraordinary tours to the towns of Antioquia, a careful organized itinerary, and lovely lunch to make this private day tour very special. From playing good music in the car to helping us take awesome pictures and videos, Julián is an outstanding guide. His expertise and love for nature is contagious and he definitely convinced us to come back and do more activities with Ecoventure. The guide both went to great lengths to provide us with experiences much beyond expectations and I cannot thank them enough. I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed, educational with fine food - they will deliver!

Exhilarating! - Exhilarating and peaceful all at the same time. There is something very unnatural about running off the edge of a mountain. What a rush! The views as you fly above are breath taking. It is so peaceful soaring through the sky like a bird. Great experience all around.

Life Changing! - Our Guide Sebastian was the best guide anyone can ask for. He was very attentive very informative. He made sure we had an amazing experience! The views at the paragliding were amazing. The tour to Guatape was beautiful. But nothing compares to the hospitality and kindness that Sebastian showed us as we celebrated a birthday. Thank you so much Sebastian for making our trip much more memorable. Blessings.

Paragliding and Guatapé! - What an amazing trip!! It was so great having Sebastian as our guide. He was so knowledgeable and fun to talk to on the long car rides :) We did the paragliding and Guatapé trip in one. I would recommend to make this the only thing you plan for the day, since there can be delays. (Traffic, paragliding conditions, or checking out the shops) The paragliding was so fun and felt very safe as well. Highly recommend!

Parasailing with Amazing views. Visiting Guatape, El Penol, with the best guide ever - I had limited time in Medellin and wanted to do a little of adventure and culture. This covered both. I am terrified of heights, so why I chose parasailing.. beats me, but honestly after we left the ground it was amazing. Felt like flying. The views were incredible. After that life changing moment.. will do again 10/10. We went to Guatape, El Penol, and Replica. I think my tour guide Laura is one of the best guides I’ve had in my travels. Her knowledge of the country’s history and culture was remarkable. I asked her every and anything I can think of and she had an answer. Would definitely recommend ask for Laura if you want to learn more about this Amazing Country., Literally from Fauna, to Endagered species, to regional history. She knew the answers.
