“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 walk is relatively easy, there are only a few difficult passages if one suffers from the knees.Auto-translated”

She was very encouraging and supportive, guiding us through the jungle and helping to motivate us when we were tired.. she was an excellent guide and very caring and knowledgeable - would have not been the same without her! The Lost City is very rewarding after 2 days of walking to reach it! Meals were all delicious and very filling - overall 5 stars, would definitely recommend”

Private Medellín tour with two 700m zip lines, sky hammocks, and a waterfall hike at Los Saltos Ecoparque. Lunch break included.
“Had a great time with Philippe. Explored Cascada Salto Del Buey and the surrounding area. If are looking for an adrenaline rush, the zip lines are 330 meters high.”
Hike to Pance waterfalls with a small guide group, enjoy local lunch with river views, and explore Cali valley biodiversity in 7 to 8 hours.
“Alejandro, our guide, is extremely friendly, well informed, committed to his community's well-being, and persistent in making sure everyone is able to understand, feels comfortable, and respects the environment. The trek was invigorating and fun. We saw beautiful fauna and flora -- especially butterflies! The lunch was scrumptious. The whole tour came off smoothly, from coordination and pick up to drop off. The length was just right for us, as we wanted to get out of the city, see the mountainous forest (including old growth!) but hadn't planned such a trip in advance and did not have gear necessary for something more strenuous.”
