PRIVATE experience with Guide in Nature
We highly recommend Juan and the guide service was exceptional. We booked a completely private tour so we could go at our own pace. It was wonderful being in nature and I can hardly wait to return again. Worthwhile taking an entire day away from Medellin.

Amazing guide, amazing experience
We had a wonderful ziplining/waterfall trip with Julien. He was very knowledgeable with Colombian natural and cultural history. He let us experience the trip at our pace and was part of making the trip a very memorable experience for our whole family. Highly recommend

Unforgettable Giant Waterfall Adventure with Ecoventure
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ **Unforgettable Giant Waterfall Adventure with Ecoventure** This **private Giant Waterfall tour** organized by **Ecoventure** was one of the most memorable experiences we had outside Medellín, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore Colombia’s natural beauty beyond the city. The trip takes you into the **Colombian Andes** to **Salto del Buey Waterfall** near La Ceja, and the scenery alone makes it worth the journey. The views along the way are stunning and give you a real sense of the countryside and mountains surrounding Medellín. Reaching the base of the waterfall requires a steep hike down, but that’s part of what makes this adventure so rewarding. The descent feels like a true trek, and once you arrive, the experience is incredible—the **powerful roar of the falls**, the cool mist in the air, and the sheer scale of the waterfall are absolutely exhilarating. Our guide, **Julian**, was exceptional. His passion for nature and the environment really elevated the experience and helped us fully appreciate what we were seeing. He made sure we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying the hike at our own pace. After the climb back up (which definitely earns its reward), we relaxed with **local coffee and a beer from a nearby brewery**, the perfect way to unwind and reflect on the adventure. If you’re visiting Medellín and want a **unique, active, and nature-focused day trip**, this tour is an outstanding choice. Challenging, beautiful, and truly unforgettable.

Unbelievable Experience
The waterfall is an incredible and deeply emotional experience. The access road and the short hike are absolutely worth it. You can see the rainbow best between 2 and 3 p.m. The guide was very professional, explained a lot, and also gave me time to enjoy the place on my own. I would have loved to do the zipline ten times in a row! The view is breathtaking. Both the waterfall and the zipline make perfect spots for social media photos. I’ll definitely do it again on my next trip to Colombia!

Highest Zipline and Giant Waterfall Private Tour from Medellin: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does Highest Zipline and Giant Waterfall Private Tour from Medellin cost?
+
Prices start at $187 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 Highest Zipline and Giant Waterfall Private Tour from Medellin take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Highest Zipline and Giant Waterfall Private Tour from Medellin worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 172 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 Highest Zipline and Giant Waterfall Private Tour 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 Highest Zipline and Giant Waterfall Private Tour from Medellin suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Highest Zipline and Giant Waterfall Private Tour from Medellin?
+
Around 60 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Highest Zipline and Giant Waterfall Private Tour 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.
