This isn’t just a tour — it’s an invitation to truly connect with one of Colombia’s most beautiful natural treasures. What makes this Rio Claro experience stand out is how immersive and balanced it is. You'll paddle gently through turquoise waters surrounded by towering marble canyons, hike through lush rainforest trails full of tropical life, and explore a natural cave that feels like a secret hidden deep in the jungle. The pace is just right — enough excitement to feel alive, enough quiet to take it all in. Just nature at its finest and a local guide who knows the land, its stories, and how to make every moment count. It’s the kind of experience that travelers remember not just for what they did, but for how it made them feel. If you're looking for something real, breathtaking, and a little wild — this is it.

What are people saying about Medellín

Jasmine_C, Jul 2026

Would do again!

The company was very timely and informative of the land, city, and trail. Guri and Alejandro we're very pleasant and respectful. The trail up to the waterfall did not feel rushed . The snacks were light and refreshing. Lastly, the food menu items were delicious and authentic.

We had a fantastic day on...

We had a fantastic day on the Guatapé tour! The scenery was absolutely stunning, and the mix of activities—from the boat ride to exploring the colorful town and seeing the famous rock—made for an unforgettable experience. Everything was well organized, and Oscar was an excellent guide throughout the day.

Comuna 13 Tour with Cable Car Ride

Jessica_S, Jun 2026

Fantastic tour!

Celestial was an absolutely fantastic tour guide! Her knowledge of the history was impressive — she explained everything clearly and brought the stories to life in a way that was both informative and engaging. On top of that, she was wonderful company throughout the entire tour. Her warm personality made the experience so much more enjoyable. I couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend her to anyone!

Private Half-Day Coffee Tour at Family Farm Close to Medellín!

Debby_I, Mar 2026

Exquisite Experience!

Our family of six had a spectacular time visiting this farm with Carlos as our guide. In addition to being a walking encyclopedia on the topic of coffee, he knows Medellin and was able to help us better understand the city as he drove us to and from the farm. The experience of better understanding coffee - from seed to processing to tasting - exceeded all of our expectations. Every step of this tour was given with exquisite thoughtfulness and care. I think part of that comes from doing it again and again and having had the chance to perfect it, but for us we felt like the first and favorite customers ever - not a hint of being part of a touristy grind. Carlos and Juan Pablo, who assisted Carlos once we got the farm, seemed truly enthusiastic to share their passion for Colombian coffee with us. Also, this farm is in a breathtakingly beautiful location. I don't think any of us will ever look at or taste coffee the same way again. Be sure to bring plenty of cash so you can buy their products (which they never pushed, we inquired and bought) as well as to tip. We left this tour high on coffee and life. Truly a highpoint of our trip. Thank you Carlos, Juan Pablo, and all at the farm!

Pablo Escobar Tour : Museum, History and Beer

Carey_S, Mar 2026

Escobar

We had the BEST experience with Alejandro. I was curious what Escobar story we would hear after hearing so many viewpoints. However, Alejandro knew the history inside and out and with great passion! For our own reasons along with his we knew he was speaking truth! We enjoyed the museum where we met Escobar's niece who was super friendly and enjoyed all it had to offer. We then went across for a water/beer with our group. Buses were air conditioned and comfortable. We then headed to the cemetery and wall. Excellent tour whether you hate, like, or don't care about him personally it's still the history of Medellin and was nice to learn more about it. Highly recommend!

Coffee Tour In Horse Riding and Lunch In Medellin

Emmanuella_E, Mar 2026

Highly Recommend

My friend and I really enjoyed this tour! I don't even drink coffee and I thoroughly had a great time learning about the different processes and trying all the different treats. Ask for Samuel if possible, he really kept the energy up and kept us entertained! We never felt bored even though it was a lot for information. The horse riding was also a lot of fun. As it was our first time riding, the uphill path as a bit scary for us but we felt safe knowing that the trainers were walking along with us the whole time. We would've liked to begin on flat terrain but that is a small detail. Another small detail would be to improve the trainers picture taking skills, he offered many photos but unfortunately none are very good. I would highly recommend this tour! The finca was beautiful, everyone was so kind, and it definitely left a positive mark on our Medellin trip.

Erika was hands down the best tour guide we’ve ever had. She was super knowledgeable, funny, and kept the whole day fun and engaging. This tour was perfect because you get a little bit of everything. The rock, Guatapé, the coffee farm, and even exotic fruits. Everything was amazing and well organized. I’d recommend this tour to anyone visiting Medellín

Perfect tour!

Perfect tour! A comfortable, air-conditioned car picked us up right from the hotel and brought us back afterward. Our guide Julio was incredibly friendly and shared lots of interesting information throughout the trip. I highly recommend this tour — I really loved it! I actually booked two tours with Tourguides Medellín, and I enjoyed both of them very much!

Half Day Bike Tour in Medellin - Local snack, Coffee or Beer

Jessica_H, Jul 2025

A family favorite!

Our family with 2 young teen daughters went and had the best time. Our leaders were very knowledgeable and we learned all about the political, socioeconomic and cultural history of Medellín. It is such a beautiful city and this is such a great way to see a lot of major sites! They kept us very safe on some of the busy streets as well. Definitely a must do!
