          Magical
          Excellent activity, service and attention. The place is amazing! The hammock is a plus. Fabian was very attentive, concerned about the safety of the group and at the same time very funny. He is a magician so he also gave us additional entertainment. 100% recommended.

          Amazing experience! Fabian was a fantastic guide!
          Highly recommended the paragliding tour with Ecoventure! We originally only booked the paragliding, and the day before the Ecoventure team recommended we add the Guatape tour and we were so glad we did! Tour guide - Fabian was fantastic! Request him if you can. He was so fun, talkative, and gave us little tips and facts about Colombia as we drove to paragliding and Guatape. He was very flexible with pickup and drop off and very communicative. Paragliding - good experience and the views were really nice. The paragliding guides were knowledgeable and the flight was very relaxing. You can add a go-pro video (about $14USD) and they add it right to your phone after the trip. The Stone of El Peñol - after paragliding, we went to the Stone of El Peñol. The walk up is ~700 steps. The views of the lake was great. Throughout the drive there, Fabian gave us so many facts about the town, which was nice. Guatape tour - a really nice addition to our tour. A cute little town full of history and Fabian spared no details. I only wish we stayed a little longer in the town, but the drive back to Medellin was long so we wanted to get before the drive (about 2 hours). A surprise bonus - Fabian showed us some magic tricks on the ride home 🪄 Overall, a great day trip if you’re in Medellin.

          Amazing Views!!
          Our tour guide Fabián was the best! Our tour had just my group of 3 so we were able to take our time through the hike (needed because I have asthma) and we got to see some extra things. Fabián gave us a lot of interesting history and facts about every place we stopped/visited. This was well worth the price because our guide went above and beyond for us.

          Guatapé and El Peñol tour with Fabian
          We had a super day touring Guatapé and El Peñol with Fabian! Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable about the area’s history and culture, but he kept us thoroughly entertained with fascinating stories and outstanding magic tricks. His energy, humor, and passion for what he does made the experience truly special. If you’re visiting Colombia, Fabian is the guide you need—absolutely fantastic!

          It was an amazing experience!! Just know it will be a bit of a journey before you get to the destination. But if you’re lucky enough to get Fabian “El Mago” as your guide you’re in luck. He’s very knowledgeable, and speaks English very well. And will assist you in any way possible.

          Paragliding & White Water Rafting Fun
          The paragliding was so peaceful & beautiful scenery. Our driver Diego was amazing. Very nice and very knowledgeable of Colombia. The white river rafting was actually very fun. It was our first time to do either activity. It’s worth it to pay for both. Everyone was very accommodating & our guide stayed with us all day making sure we safely made it back to our hotel. It was an amazing experience & I can’t wait to do them both again.

          Worth the wait.
          First and foremost I have to thank Fabian and Diego. I was with a group of 8 people and these two were truly amazing. They were so knowledgeable about the surround areas while we drive to the mountain. The weather was bad, and we didn't get to actually fly until 2pm, after being there since 11am. But we say had lunch at the restaurant, and was able to hangout and talk. Fabian kept us entertained with magic. His card tricks were just wow, so talented. He is a legit magician, and I advise you to request him. Overall the experience was truly work the 5 hour delay. We almost gave up and left, but both of them told us just wait a little longer so we did. They speak English and Spanish, so if you need a translator go to them. 10/10 would do again for sure.

          Fairytale Day w Fabian
          The paragliding was spectacular — as to no surprise based on the other reviews. But, what really blew me away about this tour was having a dedicated tour guide for the entirety of the day. Guatapé rock was awe-inspiring, and the colorful town of Guatapé was straight from a movie set. Our guide, Fabian, spent an ENTIRE day with us giving us cultural facts, history, etc — and as a surprise, he performed magic show! He was an incredible magician. All-in-all, this tour is WORTH THE HYPE!

        We sent our request for "Epic Zipline and Giant Waterfall" to "Ecoventure Tour Agency" a few weeks before our planned arrival in Medellin. For a long time we did not receive any answer and already thought that this company, like many others, did not "survive" the pandemic((( However, a coupe of days before our arrival, we unexpectedly received a responcse to WhatsApp (do not forget to provide all possible contacts in your request))), all issues related to the trip were quickly resolved. And on the appointed day our driver-guide Tomas met us at the entrance of the hotel.
        The result of the trip exceeded all our expectations.
        Firstly, the fear of Zipline flight disappeared in a second, and the rest of the time we just enjoyed both the flight itself and the surrounding landscape.
        The trail to a very picturesque waterfall was also quite capable for us (we both are 55 years old). In some of the most difficult places, trees growing along the edges ot the trail and specially streched ropes helped. However, I would like to note that during the rain it might be much more difficult to do the same.
        The main thing is not to rush and enjoy the surrounding nature and the hospitality of the ECO-PARK staff.
        Lunch after the flight and the trail would be beyond praise!
        Best wishes to "Ecoventure Tour Agency"!
        Special thanks to Tomas!

        Julian and his company went above and beyond to make sure we had a safe, well informed, and absolutely epic time during the tour. There is so much to do and he knew all the secret ins and outs for so much. All the gear and equipment felt like they were the best money can buy. I have never had such an incredible experience booking tours anywhere else in the world. This is a MUST, don't skip out on this if you're in Medellin. Worth every penny.

        We had a great time on our trip! The zipline leads to a cool area with a bar and restaurant overlooking the mountains and a coffee field, followed by a trail down to the waterfall. Everyone working was polite and helpful the whole time. We had an issue on our end early in the trip, but our guide was patient and went out of his way to help resolve the issue. I’d definitely recommend it!

        The zipline tour was exhilarating. The eco park is beautiful and Jhon was a fantastic guide and a wealth of knowledge about the local flora and fauna as he guided us through our trek to the waterfall. Standing at the base of the falls and feeling the power of nature was my favorite part of the experience. I would highly recommend this tour to all adventure seeking travelers who want to enjoy some of the natural beauty of Antioquia.

        We spent 3 days in Columbia and Julian and his team made it something we will never forget. From helping set up shuttle services to zip lining to white water rafting, everything was top notch. He did a fantastic job and we can’t thank him and the other guides enough. Columbia was a huge surprise for me as I didn’t know what to expect but what a beautiful and friendly country!

        This tour was amazing 🤩! The zipline was beautiful and great views of the waterfall. Being able to climb to the waterfall base and see it up close was breathtaking.
        Cheers to DIEGO for making it an unforgettable experience- he explained so much about Columbia 🇨🇴, the culture, the flowers, fruits, beans and anything we asked about.

        Be sure you can climb steep incline and tons of steps back up- wear good traction shoes and clothing appropriate for ziplining. It will be something you’ll always remember!

        Amazing guide ! Tomás was fluent in 3 languages and so much fun. We listened to reggaeton and rock all the way over and sang. So much fun. The hike was amazing and informative. The ziplining were 2 very long lines that cross crossed the valley. We had so much fun. Highly recommended!

        Amazing zip lining experience Julian was a great tour guide and the zip lines were amazing, waterfall was a sight to see and I would 100% recommend this trip 10/10 made our trip to Medellin very memorable. I would be wary if you have problems with hiking and climbing hills, stairs. This is a big part of the trip but a necessity.

        This was an incredible adventure, starting with our awesome host, Julian! He picked us up at the hotel and drove us to the Eco Park ( 1.5 hour drive). He provided history on the mountains and the story behind the name of the waterfall. After arriving, we hiked down to the first zipline (the longest in Colombia) and spent several seconds jetting between the mountains and having the unique aerial view of the unimaginably beautiful surroundings. We then embarked on a grueling hike down to the waterfall. Being in the presence of the waterfall is monumental. Prepare to be soaked! A towel comes in handy to dry off for the challenging hike back up to the second zipline. Going across one last time is bittersweet so keep your eyes open!

        I highly recommend this trip and Julian as a host. Bring pesos to enjoy lunch on premises and have a towel to dry off. Keep your eyes opened on the ziplines for stunning views of the mountains, lush greenery, and colossal waterfall!

        The title Epic Zipline and Giant Waterfall is an understatement. This experience is, without a doubt, one of the best experiences I've had in Colombia. The views from the Zipline (bring a go pro if u can) are fabulous. And the waterfall leaves you with a feeling of ... I've never felt so alive as when we were standing at the base of such power! Don't worry, it's far enough away not to get swept in it. But close enough to get soaked and love it. Make no mistake, you will work for it. The hike to get to and leave both places was kind of treacherous and hard (for a new and/or out of shape hiker). But here's where the guide, Julian, really helped. Of course, Julian knew his stuff.
        Of course he could tell us the history of the place, point out its beauty, what to do with all the waterfall's majesty and was very accommodating. That's a good guide. But what makes him a great guide was when the hike back up became too much at times, Julian stayed with me to make sure I made it up the slippery parts and trusted the other workers present to guide my friends.
        The whole team at the Ecoparquea was great! Some spoke some English, some spoke Spanish only and we never felt like we couldn't communicate as an English speaker would step in if need be. It was just well organized with nice people.
        Our tour included time for lunch and that was pretty good. Lentil soup was tasty and the biggest tamale you've ever seen. Don't believe them when they tell you it's small. It's a meal itself.

        Our order of events, hopefully this helps w what to wear and bring
        We hiked down steeply to the Zipline
        Zipline across to the waterfall side
        Sat for a bit w a snack or to take in the views
        Hiked down steeply to the waterfall's base
        Once you get to the bottom, wear only a swim suit or have a change of clothes here bc there is no way to avoid getting soaked
        Waterfall majesty experience. It's hard to see for the water coming at you but you don't care. It's just too great of an experience
        Either climb beside the waterfall or hike back up the way you came. It started to rain so we had no choice but to hike back up soaking wet. You may not have to so pick your time to put your clothes back on/change clothes.
        Hiked back to the Zipline.
        Had lunch
        Zipline back across.
        Hike back up to the main area. This is where I changed clothes bc of the rain.
        Back in the car to sleep, while Julian does some epic driving in the rain to your destination. Lol.
