5.00The Guatape River and Waterfalls tour was the best excursion of my LIFE! Honestly, one of my favorite days I’ve ever had. Camilo brought my friend and me to a quiet and secluded area of a river outside Guatape, where there was a beautiful blue green swimming hole under a waterfall. As my friend and I started exploring the river, he set up a gorgeous brunch for us - sandwiches from a local shop, coffee, mimosas. He also set up chairs, mats to lay on in the sun, an umbrella, and binoculars for birdwatching. It was PARADISE. He told us he’d take some pictures of us enjoying the river so we wouldn’t have to worry about capturing the moment. she told us he’d be back in a few hours, and when he returned, he asked if we’d like to stay longer or wanted to go. We happily stayed. If I lived there, I would go there every day.
Do this tour!!!

5.00I did this tour (solo) with Laura last week (May 2024) - it was so wonderful! The picnic was top-notch! There were a lot of options and it was laid out (presented) really nicely too. More food than I could possibly eat (she let me take the "leftovers" which was also nice). All of the items for the food display were reusable too (not plastic) which I also appreciated (from an environmental standpoint). I could have easily stayed a few more hours! On the drive to/from Guatape she shared some local history as well as things about the plants, wildlife, etc. 100% recommend this tour and although I didn't do other tours with Laura (not enough time!), I can only imagine that all she does is curated with the same level of attention to detail and care for Mother Earth.
We are coming back!!
