Favorite Colombia activity
This was our favorite day of our family trip to Colombia. The drive to and from Medellin was a long, as expected, but it was well worth it. Everyone evjoyed the rapelling down the waterfall. We felt very safe with our driver and guide. The swimming at the base of the other waterfall was a hidden gem, and jumping into the pool made me feel like a kid again. I would definitely consider spending several days in this area doing more trips nature / adventure activities.

We want to experience it again
Well… I’m officially in love with rappelling! 💦 It was better than I expected, and a hundred times more powerful than it looks at first. It’s absolute freedom, adrenaline, and pure joy! A huge thank you to our guide Fabián for turning this day into a real adventure. He explains everything so clearly and with so much care — we learned a lot during the trip, and the conversation felt like chatting with an old friend. So, if you’ve ever wondered whether you should try rappelling — YES, YES, and absolutely YES, especially with Fabián. These are the kind of emotions you just want to experience again. Fabián, gracias por esta experiencia increíble! 🌿💚

Rappelling and swimming in natural pools
This was my third and final trip with overture tours. I was picked up early in the morning by Diego to go to San Lois. It was a beautiful drive. The first stop was climbing and rappelling. Diego and the other guides set me up in the harness and had me practice using the gear. Afterwards I climbed the side of the water fall. Once we got to the top we started the repelling. It was a great experience. The guides make you feel safe and comfortable the whole time. You get to feel the power of the waterfall. It’s was incredible the experience. Afterwards we went to the natural pools. We hike down than started swimming. The first pool had a waterfall and I got to jump into the water next to it a few times. We did some rock jumping as well. The second pool had some rapids and the guide had me sit in it for a while to feel the power and energy of the water. It was a unique experience. We did a lot more swimming and rock jumping. This was a great trip to end my vacation. It was out of this world. I have tons of videos and photos too. I highly recommend this trip. The guides make you feel safe and provide with a lot of information.

La Cuba WATERFALL RAPPELLING and La Planta GIANT NATURAL POOL from MEDELLIN: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does La Cuba WATERFALL RAPPELLING and La Planta GIANT NATURAL POOL from MEDELLIN cost?
+
Prices start at $229 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 La Cuba WATERFALL RAPPELLING and La Planta GIANT NATURAL POOL 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 La Cuba WATERFALL RAPPELLING and La Planta GIANT NATURAL POOL from MEDELLIN worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 13 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 La Cuba WATERFALL RAPPELLING and La Planta GIANT NATURAL POOL 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 La Cuba WATERFALL RAPPELLING and La Planta GIANT NATURAL POOL 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 La Cuba WATERFALL RAPPELLING and La Planta GIANT NATURAL POOL from MEDELLIN?
+
Around 5 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 La Cuba WATERFALL RAPPELLING and La Planta GIANT NATURAL POOL 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.
What is included in La Cuba WATERFALL RAPPELLING and La Planta GIANT NATURAL POOL from MEDELLIN?
+

+
