Daniel, our guide, was... - Daniel, our guide, was great. He picked us up on time and off we went to paraglide. The weather wasn't looking too good, so he checked with the gliding company who suggested we try later. So Daniel rearranged the trip and off we went to Guatape and Pernol. Just as we started to climb the mountain, it started to sprinkle, but we were determined. Daniel waited for us at a coffee shop, and off we went to Guatape. He suggested several lunch places, and after lunch took us on a nice walking tour around the city. Luckily the rain had stopped before lunch, so we stayed dry the rest of the day. Then off we went to paraglide. Again, the weather was iffy, but Daniel was persistent in contacting the gliding company to confirm. It was still overcast, but we floated above the mountains and viewed two waterfalls before touching down in a small town. We were whisked back up the mountain to the starting point to reconnect with Daniel and then returned to Medellin. It wasn't the prettiest day, but between Daniel's tour information, his taking pictures of us, and his being persistent so that we would have a memorable day, we had a blast.

Must do tour if you are in Medellin - It was an absolutely wonderful day with our tour guide Erika! Our family of 4 enjoyed the whole day with Erika educating us about the history of Guatape, the Penol and was in constant touch with the Paragliding team to make sure the weather was ok for us to paraglide and she made sure all of us were comfortable and stopped when needed for breaks. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the region!!

Amazing experience! - This was an amazing experience. I climbed the rock at Guatape and also did paragliding for the first time! Sara was my tour guide and she was amazing. I had a one on one experience with her which was actually so nice because it was so personal. She drove me from start to finish 2.5 hours each way from Medellín). Through conversation with her, I learned a lot of about local Colombians and how they live, which I loved. She was very kind, caring, and took me to nice photo spot sites in Guatape. She even went out of her way to drop me to a preferred spot on the way back after my trip was over for the day and even gave me recs on what to do for the rest of the evening. The paragliding experience is also something I would highly recommend. Andres was also very helpful in coordinating logistics for the day and available for any questions I had before the day started. I highly recommend this tour guide agency and this activity! 10/10!

A jam packed day - This your is divided into 3 parts. 1. Paragliding - we were the first to arrive at the location for paragliding, but to our surprise, the place was extremely foggy! We waited for a bit, and thankfully the fog started to clear up. The paragliding pilots made quick use of the opportunity and the activity got underway. My wife took part in this while I say it out, but she definitely enjoyed herself. 2. El Peñol - this was the second part of the tour. Be warned, be you have to be in decent physical shape to climb those rocks. This part was a workout, phew! But, with many breaks in between, we finally made it to the top. Definitely a must do. 3. Lastly, we visited the iconic Guatapé town for a meal and aak through the streets, while our tour guide, Laura, explained a bit of the history and architecture. All in all, this tour is highly recommended. And thank you to our tour guide, Laura, who did a wonderful job.

Wonderful Day in October in Guatape - My wife and I spent an awesome day in Guatape climbing the rock, visiting the town, and then paragliding over the waterfalls. Erika did an excellent job monitoring the weather and adjusting our sequence of activities to ensure we were able to fly. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and spoke perfect english. She took us to local shops and knew many of the local vendors. We enjoyed her so much that we booked her the next day to do a city and cable car tour, which was equally as enjoyable. She has 7 years' experience, and it showed.

A Memorable Day - My friends and I spent an amazing day with our guide Laura. The paragliding was a dream, hiking up the rock was an accomplishment, and Guatape was a joy. Laura was the perfect host to the whole experience and had tons of great stories and facts to share. Don't skip this one!
