Exceptional Paragliding and Guatapé Experience
Julian was an amazing tour guide! I traveled solo, and he made me feel very comfortable throughout the entire day. He was respectful, accommodating, and made sure I had a great experience. We even stopped for breakfast so I could try authentic Colombian food, which I really appreciated. The paragliding and Guatapé tour was unforgettable, and I would definitely recommend Julian to anyone visiting Medellín.

Amazing Adventure with Local Guide
My friends and I had an AMAZING tour with Julian! Words truly can’t do it justice, the tour was everything we hoped for and so much more. We chose to do paragliding plus the day trip to Guatapé, and both experiences were unforgettable. It was my first time paragliding, and I felt so safe and the views were outstanding. In Guatapé, we got to meet local artisans who our guide was friends with - as a local Colombian entrepreneur, Julian was very well-connected. One thing to note: if you get carsick, I recommend bringing medication for the windy roads. Overall, I highly recommend looking up Ecoventure for your next trip to Colombia!

Perfect day to Guatupe!
What a perfect day. We had been so disappointed to arrive in Medellin and not done our research to know that virtually everything was closed for Semana Santa so it was a last minute scramble to book an activity. Ecoventure tours was so quick with responding and extremely accommodating. We settled on the luxury tour of Guatape with a paragliding add-on. Juan, our guide, picked us up early in his comfortable SUV. He clearly explained what the day had in store for us but made it clear that there was lots of flexibility. Our first stop, paragliding. Not going to lie, I was THIS close to backing out but I’m sooooo glad I did it. What an amazing experience. Soaring above the valley and beauty so waterfalls. We left there to head for El Peñón and our gruelling climb up the “rock”. Juan knew a shortcut through the back country and managed to avoid hours of Easter traffic.) the climb actually wasn’t so bad. Took us about 15 minutes to reach the top and the amazing views. We enjoyed a quick drink, a michelada. Very refreshing. With the crowds, it took us longer to get down than it did to get up. We then enjoyed a leisurely lunch at Paisa. I recommend Pollo Milanesa. It was then time to explore the colourful city of Guatape. By then we were tired so instead of a planned walking tour, we did a car tour and this was really good enough for us. Juan gave us lots of great info as we explored the city in the comfort of our air conditioned vehicle. By then it was time to head back to Medellin to try and avoid the worst of the traffic but we did make time for a stop at El Alto de Chocho, a massive petting zoo where we got up close and personal with llamas, alpacas, goats, sheep, horses and ostriches. Be sure to buy the basket of carrots to feed the animals. They LOVED this! Finish the stop off with some delicious strawberries and cream. Heaven! From there it was a smooth one hour drive back to Medellin. Juan loved 80s music and had a great play list so we had a bit of a sing along to pass the time on the way back. All in all a fabulous day which was made all that much better thanks to our amazing guide, Juan. If you book (and I strongly suggest you do), be sure to ask for him!!

Take the Leap, Be at Peace
Go, just go. If you’re looking for your sign to finally take the leap, this is it. This was an amazing experience over the waterfall. The take off was fun. The pilot will guide you throughout the flight. I felt at ease and really just excited that I did it. It was exhilarating and well worth the thrill. I thought I’d be nervous but I was calm, mostly because I had made up my mind to do it. It also helped to watch others take off before. Just relax and let the wind and pilot take you on the most peaceful journey. I also appreciated the driver and transport from one hotel to the next and learning the history of other departments and towns. I also got to see the most gorgeous views from the countryside. Well worth it!

PARAGLIDING over giant waterfalls private tour (optional Guatape) from Medellin: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does PARAGLIDING over giant waterfalls private tour (optional Guatape) from Medellin cost?
+
Prices start at $159 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 over giant waterfalls private tour (optional Guatape) from Medellin take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 over giant waterfalls private tour (optional Guatape) from Medellin worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 423 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 over giant waterfalls private tour (optional Guatape) 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 PARAGLIDING over giant waterfalls private tour (optional Guatape) from Medellin suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book PARAGLIDING over giant waterfalls private tour (optional Guatape) from Medellin?
+
Around 148 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does PARAGLIDING over giant waterfalls private tour (optional Guatape) 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.
