We had an absolutely amazing time on our hidden waterfalls hiking tour in Medellín! Our guide, Alejandro, was incredible—so knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful throughout the entire trip. It was a perfectly family-friendly adventure that we all enjoyed. Eating fresh mango and fruit while swimming under the waterfall was an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend Alejandro and this tour to anyone visiting!

      Must do in Colombia!

      Jimmy_G, Apr 2026
      Great experience! Our tour guide Adrian also know as Guri, explain everything that we saw from the moment he picked us up and when we were at the mountains. Information super helpful and interesting like all the Flora and Fauna found on the forest and during the hiking trail. He is very cautios and was always looking out for us and explain how to hike and do all the things before getting to the waterfall. The waterfall was the best part lf the trip, this is a must due if you come to Colombia. I would thank Guri for all the help and for all the love he puts in to what he does. Very recomended tour.

      Best experience ever in Medellin

      maricelis_R, Mar 2026
      This is my second trip to Medellin and I visited many places. By far this is the best I done. Joanna, Alejandro and the rest of the crew were amazing. The hike was beautiful from the beginning to the end. Good facts are the time, the length of the activity and the driving distance from the meeting point to the hiking point. Got to say you have to be in a very good physical condition to enjoy it. 150 stars !!!

      Incredible Hiking Adventure

      Nicolas_D, Mar 2026
      This Adventure was one of my favorite things to do in Medellín. All three guides were excellent, very friendly and Hilarious. You can tell they are very passionate at what they do. They are very familiar with the terrain the flora and fauna. They assisted everyone at the tricky parts, I felt very safe and they were all very welcoming. The nature is absolutely stunning and we all loved the waterfall at the end! They also offered snacks and beverages. This was my first tour in Medellín and I felt right at home. I would participate with them again if I was ever back in Medellín. Thank you for creating an awesome experience and many many memories!

      Sebastian was the perfect guide. If I could give him 10 stars out of 5 I would. Insightful, helpful and really empathetic to my specific needs.

      Awesome tour. Very fun and educational. Sebastian did a great job. Getting in the waterfall was one of my favorite parts of visiting Colombia. Highly recommend!

      Awesome half day outing from Medellin!!

      justin_s, Feb 2026
      Well organized half day day activity while in Medellin. Would go in wet or dry weather. The team met us at a convenient location in El Poblado, took us in clean/safe vehicles to a welcoming family near the trail head, afforded reasonably priced water boots (recommended), and made frequent informative stops on the trail to explain flora and fauna! We enjoyed the 30 minutes at the falls with a short swim. It was cold, but worth it!! Right amount of snacks (fruit, tea, coffee) to keep us going. I forgot to time the hike, but estimate 1.5 hours of walking. For anyone with questions of difficulty, I would not recommend an unfit person, young children under 7, dogs, or anyone with joint issues. There are numerous creek crossings, slippery and unstable rocks, and some mud. The crew was very focused on safety (prickly things, fauna related to poison ivy issues, fallen trees, and ability of all guests to keep up.) I am a “nature nut” and would have enjoyed a few more opportunities to stand quietly! Recommend renting the boots, being well hydrated, take pics, wear clothes to get in the pool area by falls, and consider bug spray (OMG… 4 days later and the itching from many small bites has finally subsided!!) Bring some COP for homemade ice cream!!

      Great hike, great company

      Conrad_S, Feb 2026
      This was a fantastic hike up a creek to a waterfall, not much experience needed and the guides were really helpful on some of the challenging bits. You really get the feel that you’re looked after and it’s a great outdoor activity that’s not too far outside of the center of Medellin! Also feel like I left having learned more about the nature surrounding Medellin and the history thanks to our very inflomativs guides. Highly recommend it if you’re planning on doing it with a group or even solo!

      Paradise at your feet!

      kapersaud, Feb 2026
      Absolutely loved this tour! Very challenging, the 3 guides were all very tentative and ensured our safety during the trek. The falls and the panoramic views were spectacular! Must do if your visiting Medellin!

      Samuel_M, Feb 2026
      A fantastic day hike just outside Medellín. Sebastian was a great guide and everything was well organized. Be prepared to get your feet wet, but they rent waterproof boots for a very small sum if you need them. Overall a great excursion in nature!

      10/10 Experience!

      Zane_H, Feb 2026
      10/10. Learn about nature, and explore the beauty that Colombia has. Dip in the waterfall was the icing on the cake.

      Simply amazing. Sebastian took care to explain the various flora and has great respect for the land. Not an intense hike, but make sure you are sure-footed as there are many stream crossings.

      Melissa_M, Dec 2025
      The whole experience was great. Instructions were clear and the process of meeting and getting to the hiking area was smooth and easy. Our guides were friendly and helpful and offered a lot of into about the local plants and animals. The hike itself was great- our family of four thoroughly enjoyed it! It was helpful to wear hiking sandals as there were multiple stream crossings. Would definitely recommend this excursion and these guides.

      Wonderful experience to cap off my time in Medellín. Sebastian & Adrian were amazing hosts and guided us safely thru the waters up to the marvelous waterfall, stopping occasionally to provide info about the flora & fauna of the area. A refreshing way to spend a morning. Definitely an experience not worth missing!

      Totally worth it if you're up for an adventure!
