    Stunning El Buey Waterfall, zipline and Hammock

    Excellent, professional and personal tour with our great guide Julian. We loved the impressive waterfall, the rock climbing, the relaxed time in the hammock and the zipline. It was a longer ride from Medellin but definitely worth it. We highly recommend this tour!!!

    Hike , rock climbing , highest zip line and delicious coffee for valentines with my valentine.

    Trip was beyond great. My wife and I got a private car to pick us up with our own guide who was speaking perfect English and knew so much about Colombia , adventures in natures and high mountains , coffee, plantations and so much more. He made the trip memorable and will certainly use this guys again when planning next adventures. The via Ferrara , zip line and coffee plantation visits was awesome. Highly recommend it. Get the adds on basically. Till next time Fabian

    One of the most beautiful places I've seen!

    We where very excited to go on this tour from Ecoventure and all of our expectations were met! What a beautiful place with lovely nature, wild life and a breathtaking waterfall. The zipline was super exciting where you go both way's so you can enjoy the view twice. After the zipline we did the sightseeing of the waterfall which is one of the most beautiful waterfalls I've seen so far. But the trip was even more completed with the via ferrata. Here we had the possibility to look under the waterfall and see the waterfall from another perspective. Last but not least I also need to mention our guide! He was a wonderful person who took the time to tell us the full story. Ecoventure thank you so much for the Wonderful time! ❤️

    Medallin highest zipline and waterfall tour

    Fabian, our tour guide was the best tour guide we have had in a long time and we have had some great ones. The day and the drive was long but he made it very enjoyable and personable sharing a wealth of information on flora, culture and history in the area. The zipline was incredible spaning the valley so you did an out and back. The walk down to the waterfall was awesome, especially as we got caught in a torrential rain storm. The waterfall itself...epic!

    Highest Zipline + Giant Waterfall hike & climbing Private Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.

    How much does Highest Zipline + Giant Waterfall hike & climbing Private Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $232 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 + Giant Waterfall hike & climbing Private Tour 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 + Giant Waterfall hike & climbing Private Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 22 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 + Giant Waterfall hike & climbing Private Tour?

    +

    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 + Giant Waterfall hike & climbing Private Tour 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 + Giant Waterfall hike & climbing Private Tour?

    +

    Around 8 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 + Giant Waterfall hike & climbing Private Tour 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.

    What is included in Highest Zipline + Giant Waterfall hike & climbing Private Tour?

    +

    Included: Insurances; Harness and helmet; 2 Zipline Flights (1080 ft of height and 2296 of lenght); In-vehicle air conditioning; and Via Ferrata. 196 ft horizontal and 196 ft vertical paths. Not included: Lunch; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 8 listed pickup locations in and around Medellín. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Highest Zipline + Giant Waterfall hike & climbing Private Tour offered in?

    +

    +

    Is Highest Zipline + Giant Waterfall hike & climbing Private Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
