Authentic Colombian Adventure with impecable and personalized service - This tour was all we had hoped for and more. Daniel picked us up early in the morning from our hotel in Medellin from where we drove an hour or so to Cocorna. Daniel is such a friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgable guide. He told us all about Colombian culture and living on our way there and just before arrriving we stopped at an awesome waterfall viewpoint. We were welcomed at his home with an amazing breakfast and got to try delicious fruits from their garden. On our way to the national park we got to see authentic Colombian villages, wildlife (monkeys, snakes, toucans) and waterfalls. Swimming in the rio melchocho was so refreshing and relaxing, and the lunch was excellent. On our way back we drove through the beautifull mountains of Cocorna during golden hour and enjoyed some great music together. It was an unforgetable experience. Gracias Daniel!

Amazing hiking tour through the valle de las cascadas - I did the hiking tour to the “valle de las cascadas” ( waterfall valley ) with Daniel, an excellent guide. Daniel picked me up in the morning with his motorbike which was part of the fun ! He drives very safely , stops whenever you want for coffee or anything else. The hike led us through an amazing landscape , along rivers , through valleys , enjoying the view of many waterfalls,up and down, mostly in the shade , stopping for refreshing dips at “charcos” ( ponds) and rivers and finally getting us to the amazing waterfall Esmeralda . There we swam , enjoying the falls and had a great “fiambre” ( delicious picnic lunch ) which Daniel had prepared ( besides fruit) . I enjoyed this day very much! Muchísimas gracias Daniel !

Tour to the Melcocho River with Daniel - Excellent tour. The guide Daniel is very professional and friendly. On this occasion we were able to do it accompanied by his wife and three-year-old daughter who were experts in Melcocho. And we connected a lot with nature all the way to the river. The typical lunch and fruit they offer you is delicious. On the way to Melcocho we were able to see other beautiful waterfalls and also swim in them. A wonderful experience. Don't stop going to this place. 😁

Phenomenal Tour Guide Experience. LOVED IT - It was great, me and my girlfriend booked this tour guide and I felt like I had a personal driver who not only took us anywhere we wanted but made sure we were okay with everything we did, he wasn’t pushy, he wasn’t shy, he wasn’t bad at all! He gave us everything we needed even when we didn’t need it. From supplies to food to comfort, we met his family and where the business resided and it felt like I was being brought in. I loved every minute of this adventure. Anytime that I go back to Colombia I will do book with this guy again. What a wonderful experience for the short period of time. We loved him so much we even paid for his to do some activities with us. You won’t regret it.
