“Be on time for the pick up. This was a great experience, Yulie, our tour guide was super, and yes they speak English too. Because it’s a group tour, you do get to meet people from all over the world. The food was great and they have option for everyone. As a Jamaica, this Peñol rock was a bucket list and it was great. Very crowdy as it was holiday time.”

Review of Medellín’s Guatapé and coffee farm day tour, with El Peñol views, fruit tasting, local culture, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“We booked the Guatapé rock climb, city tour, and coffee farm option. Our tour guide Julio was so down to earth and felt like a friend showing us his home. The views from the top of the rock were amazing! The town of Guatapé is beautiful and there are so many stunning photo opportunities! Julio shared neat history tidbits about the everywhere we went. The coffee plantation was surreal- a real life organic coffee farm that is family owned and operated- a truly authentic, eye opening experience. We finished the day with enough time to try crazy cool fruit at a local market. Don’t hesitate and book this tour! You…”

“My brother and I really enjoyed the private tour. It is always our preference as the guides have more to share. Julio was awesome! He was very friendly, super knowledgeable, and spoke great English. Our day was not rushed. We were able to see and learn a lot. The coffee farm was unique and we appreciated that it was a family plantation and not a commercialized experience. The family at the farm was super gracious and coffee tasted great. I highly recommend this tour and if you get Julio, be ready for a good time.”

12.Day Trip to Private Zipline and Waterfall Trek

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2 reviews · from $130

Zip across jungle valleys, hike to a waterfall, and climb a 70-meter rock wall on this small-group Medellín adventure.

“The day went perfect. I was picked up early. Javier was a gentleman and brought me to the site. My guides were Bear and Tiger and they put me completely at ease. It was obvious they’d done this thousands of times. I felt safe at all times. They were patient and took lots of photos and videos. My stuff was all safe back at base with Javier while I waited. It feels amazing flying through the air on the zip lines, crossing the bridge and climbing the sheer rock face. Perfect for any adrenaline junkie. I highly recommend this experience.”
