Medellín day trip to Guatapé and Peñol: step climb, dam boat lunch, Umbrella Street, and Antioquia tastings. Small groups, big views.
“A very good experience, and good value for the amount paid. We took longer than expected, departing about 8:45 AM and arriving back around 10 PM. Lunch was very good and well timed. We could have used more time at the piedra, but we were a bit behind schedule by then. This tour is recommended for those interested in a deeper exploration of the area around Medellín! Be prepared for lot of time on the bus.”

Half-day trip from Cartagena to Palenque, the free Afro-Colombian town with dance, drumming, language lessons, and local lunch.
“The Palenque tour was culturally eye opening and very interactive. We learned about the people dating back to slavery and their fight for freedom. In the mist of the history we learned a few dances and even got to dance along which made it a fun ice breaker too. I enjoyed the visit to their clinic with natural remedies to illnesses and their restaurant which had a delicious stewed fish. Even now as I write I want some more. The guide Roméo has a sarcastic sense of humor which I liked and included everyone. He even taught us the language in preparation. If you forget what he taught, no worries…”
