Private 11-hour hike to the crystalline Melcocho River from Medellín, with 4x4 transport, waterfalls, and local guide Daniel.
“If you are looking for luxury and sophistication, look elsewhere, but if you want to put your hand on the beating heart of of rural Antioquia and its people, Daniel and his team are your guys. We booked two tours with Daniel to take us out of Medellin and into the countryside. The first day to Guatape and the second day to the Rio Melcocho. Just the two of us with Daniel in Guatape and two couples and two guides the next day on the river - plus two surprise guests who made the day extra special!(Thank you Daniel for that addition to our party). Small groups. Personal attention. We…”

4.5-hour Minca trek with a bilingual guide, Tayrona heritage trails, Arhuaco cacao and coffee tasting, and a relaxing waterfall stop.
“Jorge was a great guide and taught us alot about the local community and also gave some great tips for our travels around the Santa Marta area. The coffee farm tour was great and felt very private. The family was very friendly and the son explained everything in English for us too which we appreciated.”
Hike the massive Sumapaz Páramo outside Bogotá with expert guides, park entry, and a misty, muddy day.
“I had a great time on this hike with Liz! This hike can be challenging at some points and, depending on the weather, muddy. I highly recommended bringing good hiking boots and layers. The landscape is stunning! We were the only ones hiking that day and I felt like we were on another planet! Highly recommend this tour!”
Hike Colombia’s Sumapaz páramo, the planet’s largest high plateau, with a small-group guide, warm breakfast, and a cold, cloud-wrapped return.
“Spectacular hike with views of the surrounding mountains and unique flora! Prepare for wet weather, regardless of the season. Not strenuous for those who are accustomed to the outdoors - a 6.5/10. My guide Juan was good company and shared his extensive knowledge along the way. About 6 to 7 hours including transport.”
