    Great birthday surprise - a Helitour of Guatape

    Vicki_J, Jan 2026
    Wonderful experience. Helitours is all about safety which is very comforting. Customer service is also first class. Highly recommend. Sure beats hiking the Peñol as the views were spectacular.

    It was well worth it....

    It was well worth it. Amazing experience, would do it a million more times. Book directly through vendor, you get a few more mins through vendor paying what Viator charges you for 6 mins.

    Fun and memorable!

    This was sooo fun, they also have professional photographers and videographers so you don’t have to worry about a thing.
