    Guatapé, El Peñol & Paragliding

    Daniel was an amazing guide - extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the country. His storytelling was very captivating and full of fascinating detail. Easily one of the best, most interesting tours I’ve ever done. The sites were beautiful and there were plenty of opportunities to try local foods. Paragliding was also very enjoyable - great views and the instructors tailor it to your level of comfort. Overall 10/10, definitely the tour to book in Medellin.

    Loved It!

    Guatape is beautiful with her brilliant colours and quaint streets. El Peñon is a huge rock which has 700 steps to get to the top...the views are well worth the climb. We did the paratriking in Cali so we thought we'd do the paragliding in Medellin. It was just as exhilarating. Gliding through the air and taking in the awesome views was fantastic. *Thank you Daniel Giraldo...you and your company made the difference for us to completely enjoy our stay in Medellin. We also did the Commune 13 tour with them and they made the day almost seamless. Highly recommended.

    We were picked up from our hotel at the #Novotel and did several different tours like city, paragliding #comuna13.

    Daniel and Carlo were amazing, showing my family different parts of Medellin on our tours. We were at #BioXcellerator and they had many different tours we could go on. My son was using a walker and they were able to make each tour comfortable and safe. We did the city tour and then Guatapa and paragliding. My son has problems walking they brought extra people help with him get off the ground. They had the most experience guide help with our son. They were able to help with my son do the #comuna13 tour and see the different culture of Colombia. These guys are knowledgeable and amazing!!

    Amazing

    Daniel is an awesome bloke, best tour guide. He made the trip so easy, shared so much information about Colombian history with me, picked me up from the hotel. Always made sure I was super comfortable during the whole trip and even drove me to see comuna trece afterwards for free. If I ever come back to Colombia this is the first guy I will be in contact with for a tour, highly recommend him. Thanks so much Daniel you’re a legend mate!

    Private Tour to Guatapé, El Peñol + Paragliding from Medellín!!: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Private Tour to Guatapé, El Peñol + Paragliding from Medellín!! cost?

    +

    Prices start at $200 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 Private Tour to Guatapé, El Peñol + Paragliding from Medellín!! take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Private Tour to Guatapé, El Peñol + Paragliding from Medellín!! worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Private Tour to Guatapé, El Peñol + Paragliding from Medellín!!?

    +

    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 Private Tour to Guatapé, El Peñol + Paragliding from Medellín!! suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Tour to Guatapé, El Peñol + Paragliding from Medellín!!?

    +

    Around 1 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Tour to Guatapé, El Peñol + Paragliding from Medellín!! 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.
