Patricia is the best!

It’s a long, but fun day! Definitely wear good walking shoes. I hate heights but couldn’t resist this, it was definitely a challenge, both for my lungs and my fear of heights but really beautiful views at the top. Breakfast was light, so would recommend packing a snack (there’s also plenty to buy at the rock and other stops). The boat ride was better than I expected. Patricia was an amazing guide, communicated well, and taught us a lot about the history and cultural importance of the areas we were driving through and visiting. Would definitely recommend this experience to my own friends and family.

Excellent day trip from Medellin

Overall, the experience was great. Our guide was Patricia. She kept the group well organized. She presented in both Spanish and English and was a fantastic host all day. The trip was well paced, and we were kept well informed throughout the day. I would definitely recommend. Our driver, Alberto, also did a great job getting us safely there and back.
