Awesome Experience - Must Book - This tour is the best way to combine paragliding with Guatapé. Diego was a phenomenal guide, so much so that he felt like less of a guide and more like an old friend showing us around. We were staying in Santa Elena and they were also very accommodating with arranging pickup for us there, whereas most other tour operators won’t budge from their pre-approved list of meeting points. This experience is a must and ask for Diego since he’s the best!

Paragliding was a highlight of our trip - We did the Paraliding + Guatape Tour with Fabian as our guide. I was happy we got him as many reviews had specified how attentive and entertaining he is and he did not disappoint! He picked us up at our hotel and drive us to the paragliding. My boyfriend was terrified but once you jump it’s like floating and all the fear is gone. My boyfriend has not stopped talking about it since. From there we had a light snack and then drove to Guatape rock. My boyfriend was not at all excited to hike up 700 steps but Fabian talked him into it. I’m glad he did because the views were spectacular even if my boyfriend was mad at me for making him climb 700 steps but it was too late- he already did it! lol. Then we went to the town of Guatape and had lunch at a great restaurant Fabian suggested. We did have to climb more stairs but got a table by the window on the top floor. We were a little tired by then but Fabian perked us up with some magic tricks - he is very very good at that. Then a walking tour of the town and then home. The drive was about 2 hours but Fabian kept us entertained with “magic math” questions! lol you just have to book him to know what that means! I would highly recommend this tour and if you can, ask for Fabian!

Great paragliding and local town tour. Fabian was a great 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.

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!

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.
