Action, history, adventure - We had an incredibly great time on this trip. We visited many places. There were two fruit snacks and a delicious lunch. At Pablo Escobar's estate, you could rent quads and explore the hacienda with a guide. If you don't want to pay any extra, you can take a walking tour with a guide. Our tour guide for the whole day was John and our driver was Kevin. John speaks Spanish and English. The two guys were super sweet and totally rocked it. Overall, the tour actually takes a whole day, but is highly recommended.

A Eventful Day - Even though this tour was all day, it was a very smooth day for the most part. The host Cesar & the driver Alex were very on time which was much appreciated for the long day we had. Cesar did a great job explaining everything & Alex was an excellent and safe driver. They also encouraged engagement amongst participants which was nice and we got to learn a bit about each other.
The first stop was strawberries and cream which was SO GOOD. I was able to buy guinep fruit there also. Going to El Alto de Chocho was brief but exactly what I needed from the animals! They were a bit aggressive when they realized you had carrots but still with love.
The boat ride was very serene and peaceful. It is amazing to see the differences in how locals live. The boat driver was also very nice.
Visiting La Manuela was very cool and learning the history was eye opening. The Paisa Lunch we had was DELICIOUS.
Peñol Rock almost kicked my butt but I am glad to say I conquered it! THE VIEWS WERE AMAZING.
Our final stop at Guatape town was also so beautiful and colorful. All of the shops. The food options were yummy. This tour is definitely something I would recommend for solo travelers and groups alike.

Incompetence at its finest - Imcompetentes - IMCOMPETENT PEOPLE - UNOS INCOMPETENTES
People reduced through the trip, and they took us in a small suv, we ordered for an english true, and the tour guide wasnt' happy with translating for us.
I got down after 40 seconds in that thing, talked with the person in charge and they didn't offer a solution.
Besides they were late, they were changes in the last minute.
Don't waste your time neither your money with these liers.
