First class rafting
The rafting was really fun, some really rapid parts and some relaxing parts to appreciate the great nature! The lunch was really delicious!! Stephen and Christian were amazing guides, so much positive energy!!! I enjoyed the adventure a lot!

Full day of exciting fun in nature
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!

Best outdoor Colombian adventure
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!

Fun RAFTING + Awesome PARAGLIDING over giant waterfalls from MEDELLIN: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does Fun RAFTING + Awesome PARAGLIDING over giant waterfalls from MEDELLIN cost?
+
Prices start at $376 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medellín usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Fun RAFTING + Awesome PARAGLIDING over giant waterfalls from MEDELLIN take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Medellín is not rushed.
Is Fun RAFTING + Awesome PARAGLIDING over giant waterfalls from MEDELLIN worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 62 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Medellín, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Fun RAFTING + Awesome PARAGLIDING over giant waterfalls from MEDELLIN?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Fun RAFTING + Awesome PARAGLIDING over giant waterfalls from MEDELLIN suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Fun RAFTING + Awesome PARAGLIDING over giant waterfalls from MEDELLIN?
+
Around 22 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Medellín can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Medellín and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Fun RAFTING + Awesome PARAGLIDING over giant waterfalls from MEDELLIN start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Medellín within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Medellín?
+
On Outty we rank every Medellín experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guatapé Tour: Piedra del Peñol with Boat Tour, Breakfast, Lunch, Half Day Bike Tour in Medellin - Local snack, Coffee or Beer, Guided Tour of Comuna 13 Medellín with Snacks Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Medellín?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Medellín?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
