    What a day!!

    Ecoventure does a great job. Julian was great at keeping in touch. Everything from pick up my place to drop off went smoothly and in a very comfortable vehicle. I wondered if picking two adventures in one outing was the best idea but it was a great combo! I got to do two things that are each top notch adventures on their own in one day and never felt rushed. The river adventure was great with many exciting rapids departed by a few moments to float serenely looking up through the trees. I really enjoyed the river dog who went with us and his friend who followed us along the shore. The guides on the river were very experienced and I felt safe the entire trip. The paragliding was 100% exhilaration! I’m actually not a fan of heights when it’s my own sense of balance determining my fate but somehow giving control to an experienced pilot made me feel right at ease. Well not terrified at least. It was quite fun and a thrill to soar above the mountains and trees. Looking down on birds that I usually only see the bottoms of was a blast. The trip was great all around and I’ll definitely use Ecoventure for my future adventures around Medellin and Guatapé.

    Would recommend

    The team were awesome at responding to our booking and we were able to get this scheduled the night before! All the guides were friendly and professional. Especially Sebastian who was our main guide. If you are looking for an activity in Guatape, choose EcoVentures!

    Fantastic day tubing and paragliding!

    We had a fantastic day of tubing and paragliding with Ecoventure! Both activities were great fun with excellent guides, particularly Sebastian who guided us throughout the day. I was also very impressed with how efficient the team were in responding to our request (the night before!) for an activity the following day. They were incredibly helpful and open to accommodate our timing requests specifically which we really appreciated. Would definitely use again and recommend!

    Paragliding and River Tubing private experience from Guatape: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Paragliding and River Tubing private experience from Guatape cost?

    +

    Prices start at $210 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 Paragliding and River Tubing private experience from Guatape take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 Paragliding and River Tubing private experience from Guatape worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Paragliding and River Tubing private experience from Guatape?

    +

    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 Paragliding and River Tubing private experience from Guatape suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Paragliding and River Tubing private experience from Guatape?

    +

    Around 2 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Paragliding and River Tubing private experience from Guatape 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, Comuna 13 Graffiti Tour with Street Food, More than Escobar Tour. 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.
