“Fun experience! I think about a 15/20 flight down. It was safe. The instructions were clear. The go pro videos were cool and my guide was interactive. I gave 4 instead of 5 bc it was my birthday and I didn’t really get acknowledged for it. Besides that, you get everything they say they will provide. Definitely wear long pants as it gets chilly at the top”

“On June 16th, we booked for a Guatapé/paragliding experience which was such an amazing experience. We had our tour guide Erika and we have nothing but amazing things to say. First off, she was kind, patient, and informative. One our friends were super terrified of paragliding and she did an excellent job in calming her down that she ended up enjoying the whole experience. She really gave us an experience to remember and I highly recommend Erika as your tour guide!! I would definitely recommend to anyone! She definitely made sure that you were comfortable with what you were doing.”

The instructor, Julian, was really nice, friendly and capable. And I lost my camera as well but they helped me find it immediately!! Best service and experience I've had, great experience and even better customer service. Cannot recommend it enough!!”

“I booked this tour as had Alex as my guide. Excellent language skills (formerly lived in NYC for 10 years) and kept me entertained the whole day. Started with paragliding from a beautiful spot where we flight over some waterfalls and around some of the mountains in the area. We caught some updraft air and circled to rise above the take-off - we then landed in the same place. Excellent tandem pilot who was also very safety conscious (I’m also certified myself). I then climbed the “Rock” for some views and then off to Guadalupe which I found interesting and had a great lunch there.”

I found the company, Camantours Medellin and saw they had some great options for a city tour and paragliding so I decided to give them a try. The experience exceeded all my expectations. I was connected on Whatsapp with Camilo who answers all my questions and got me connected with Joshua who was my private tour guide for the day. He took me up to the paragliding and then to the city tour right afterwards. The paragliding was simply amazing. I have previously been skydiving and ziplining, but I have…”

He provided great communication, spoke english very well & was very professional. Any questions you may have concerning the excursion, or things to do/ see/ buy while in Medellín he’s willing to help. We had a great time and the two guys that assisted us (as this was our first time paragliding) were awesome as well! I give everyone 5 gold stars. We had fun, and can’t wait to bring the rest of our family back…”
