1. After we pick you up at your place the drive to the paragliding spot is a bit more than an hour in an enjoyable drive through the mountains. We accompany you throughout the whole process such as help you with the insurance registration, keeping your belongings safe and taking the best photos of you during take off, flying and landing. We do this activity with certified and experienced local pilots that provide safe and fun flights using the safest equipments. The pilot will give you the instructions to take off and what to do in the air. This paragliding flight will be an unforgettable experience since you will be flying over mountains, rivers and towns. The green color of the mountains is so vivid that together with a 90 meters (295 ft) beautiful waterfall make you feel that you are flying over a paradise. The flight lasts around 15 minutes depending on weather conditions and the altittude is close to 5000ft (1550 mts). After this adventure, ready to climb up an impressive rock?

2. The drive from the paragliding to the rock is around 1 hour but is full of beautiful sceneries of kale plantations, onion, sugar cane, coffee, and dozens of mountains silhouettes. As we drive we start telling you all the history of the rock: components, owners, when it was climbed and more interesting facts about this mysterious monolith. Once we get there you get the chance to climb it up. It’s 749 steps and 50 minutes approximately to go up and down. Once you reach the top, you can stay up there for as long as you wish as you witness one of the most beautiful views you have ever seen. This is not only our opinion but that of thousands of tourists we have taken there. At the top there are several shops where you can buy water, beer and many other items and sit down to appreciate the view of the lake, tiny islands and country houses Whenever you feel ready to start going down we'll be ready waiting for you to continue our adventure to one of the most colorful towns in the country

   1.5 h

3. The drive to Guatape from the rock is only 10 to 15 minutes. At this town we take a fully narrated walking tour through the town's landmarks such as the church, main square, remembrance street, Zocalos Square and more. Once the walking tour has concluded we take you to the best restaurant in town to have a traditional delicious lunch (not included in the tour) where you have more than 20 different options to try the local cuisine accompanied by a cold sangria or a craft beer. After we have seen all the beautiful places this town has to offer we start our journey back to Medellin, with a smile in your face and full of good memories and photos. All in all, you should not miss out this Guatape and Paragliding tour, it allows you to enjoy the beauty of this region in a different and fun way.

• 5Tour of Guatapé and paragliding with Erika!

  Erika was effervescent and extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, intelligent and articulate in the delivery of our tour to Guatapé. Erika went above and beyond in making sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed to have a wonderful day, nothing was a problem right down to providing cold water. The paragliding was amazing and one of the best experiences we have had in a very long time, would highly recommend this tour as a way to see the beautiful countryside of Medellin. My father and I can not thank Erika enough for making the tour so unforgettable. Erika would be a fantastic tour guide on any tour as her knowledge of all things Colombia is incredible.

• 5Exceptional trip!

  T his tour was honestly one of the highlights of my entire trip to Colombia. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised, seamless, and so much fun – and that’s all down to our incredible guide, Erika. Erika was absolutely fantastic. Her attention to detail was next-level – she made sure every part of the day ran smoothly while also tailoring the experience to exactly what we wanted. She genuinely cared about making the day special for us, constantly checking in, adjusting the pace, and making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. The paragliding experience was AMAZING – such a thrill and the views were unreal. It felt completely safe and well organised, and Erika made sure everything was coordinated perfectly so we could just relax and enjoy it. Guatapé and El Peñol were equally stunning – the views from the top are worth every step, and the town itself is so colourful and charming. Erika added so much value here too, sharing insights, helping with photos, and making sure we got the best out of every stop. What really stood out was Erika’s energy – she made the whole day fun, relaxed, and memorable. It felt less like a tour and more like exploring with a friend who knows all the best spots. If you’re thinking of booking this tour – do it. And if you can request Erika, absolutely do. She made an already incredible experience completely unforgettable

The city fills a long Andean valley, with brick houses climbing the slopes and a climate mild enough to earn it the name City of Eternal Spring. Its metro and Metrocable cable cars link hillside communities to the centre and give sweeping views on the ride up toward the forests of Parque Arví.
