      Best tour ever!!!!!
      Best tour guides ever. Had the best time and they were so patient. Did so many activities in one day, so be ready to work out but I would do it again in a heartbeat! Highly recommend for adventure seekers.

      Best Trip
      This trip was all around amazing. The guides were fantastic, enthusiastic, knowledgeable, funny, and a blast to hangout with. The trip can be challenging at some points but there is really nothing that beats jumping off a 14m waterfall and then having a home cooked meal. We would definitely do it again and highly recommend people try to get a tour with Julian and Renzo!

      Went with a friend. You’ll need a bit of stamina but I felt completely safe with the guide. Extremely fun!

      Great canyoning with great guides
      The canyoning itself was great. Our route had mostly jumps and slides. There was one repelling opportunity but we chose to jump about 40 feet. Our guides were super personable and very helpful throughout the whole experience. My friend lost his shoe on one of the first waterfalls and ended up doing the whole thing barefoot. The only issue we had was the pickup/meeting. The listing says they’re in the main park of Guatape but that’s not where you meet. They have a location that they will send you the day before for where to meet them. It is in San Carlos.

      Tubing in near Sand Carlos
      Our family went tubing with this adventure company and had a great time. Good safety instructions, good gear and great attitudes. We were impressed by how beautiful the river was. The people we encountered along the way were enjoying fishing, hanging out on the beaches and swimming. Our guides knew the river well and were easy going, fun loving.

      The BEST tour company in Colombia
      Eco guías is one of the best adventure companies in the world! I’ve done 4 adventures with them and all have been excellent. They are true experts, knowledgeable, and extremely safe. My favorite adventure was repelling down La Chorrera! It was one of the most incredible things I’ve done in my life! If you’re in Colombia, make the trip over to San Carlos or Guatape and use Eco Guias. Their prices are amazing and and service is amazing—could not recommend more!!

      Amazing experience
      very professional staff that made a challenging course feel safe. You will jump off cliffs, zipline down from a waterfall. Its a great time and we would do it again. They also spoke english for us and can provide transportation from guatape.

      It was my first time canyoning
      My favorite parts of the experience were the rope line slide and the rock slides. Both guides were extremely professional and helped every step of the way. I highly recommend Manuel and Carlos who were calm and confident from start to finish. They gave me the confidence I needed to enjoy every moment. I will never forget this day for the rest of my life.

      An awesome time!
      I did Ruta la Chorrera with Manuel and it was incredible! Manuel is friendly and disciplined, the whole trip was perfectly planned and a ton of fun (except for your rear view mirror Manuel! jaja). It was a 1.5 hour hike up to the top of the waterfall and about 5 hours repelling down. 12 repels, average of about 30 meters per repel. The water was cold and refreshing, but with the wetsuits we wore it felt fine. Also recommend checking out the Eco Guias office, which is a coffee shop on the second floor overlooking the beautiful central square in San Carlos, and Laura who was working there is very friendly as well!

      A crazy fun water playground
      Canyoning with Manuel and Leo is a really good time. They are very competent and supportive, but also give you space to explore. The river is magical, full of big boulders that you climb on, jump off, and swim through, punctuated by big waterfalls to rappel. You'll surprise yourself with how brave you really are.

      WOW !!! what a day :))
      Me and my friend enjoyed a great day of canyoning, we had read good reviews on tripAdvisor so we decided to try it! WOW what a nice surprise, sliding in rapids, abseiling, there are around 5 cliff that you can jump, depending on the route you take, my last jump was 12 meters !!! At all times we felt safe, all the equipment is provided to you, you just have to bring your shoes. As a bonus at the end of the route we dived under a waterfall and then walk behind the fall! We also had the chance to see monkeys! this canyoning is a must do in guatape ! thank you Emmanuel and Carlos . Danny and David from Québec

    Only one day in Guatape, so we were anxious to make sure we chose the right activity. And we certainly were not disappointed with the canyoning!

    Emmanuel and Frederico were very accommodating, professional and fun to hang out with. They understood our limitations and pushed us to these, but kept us safe at all times.

    The 12 metre jump was great and the variation in the rivers course kept the day interesting.

    We also saw some monkeys too.

    Thanks Emmanuel for a great day !!!

    Pete.

    I went with my partner and a friend. I am afraid of heights and the guides were very attentive and very patient with me as it took me twice as long to do everything. The spectacular place, the wonderful experience, the delicious lunch. I highly recommend it.

    While in San Carlos, I did a couple of tours with Eco Guias Colombia—including canyoning, hiking to Piedra El Tabor, and tubing—and would definitely recommend! All the guides (some of whom speak a bit of English) are incredibly professional and make you feel safe and comfortable throughout the entire experience. They ensure you have a fun time while also placing a high priority on safety and will never push you to do anything you don't feel comfortable with.

    EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE. I went with my partner to celebrate love and friendship by taking this tour and what great memories we took with us.
    A very fun tour with beautiful landscapes.
    From the moment we booked, Manuel called us to coordinate our arrival and give us some recommendations, he was always very attentive.

    Our guides Manuel, Andres and Felipe are very professional, we had a nice chat during the tour and we had a lot of fun.
    They have a lot of knowledge about their region and will answer any questions you may have.
    Having lunch surrounded by that landscape was very relaxing and the lunch itself was very delicious.

    Thank you very much Manuel, Felipe and Andres for this experience, we hope to return soon.
