The full day experience of being in the Antioquian forest and to experience pure nature, the lovely Melcocho river and the waterfalls valley way simply spectacular, and added a great memory to my Colombian trip! The guide Daniel is very energetic, young and has good knowledgeable about this area (as he lives there). He was also very engaging and fun!. The drive is long, but the scenery is enjoyable and it also felt safe in mountainous roads. highly recommend!

It was an amazing experience on the Melcocho River, connecting with the majesty of nature, Wonderful. Daniel told us everything he knows about the area, it was very professional (the indications were clear, I had the whole implementation of the tour), very patient as my friend fears the water (made her feel safe), the food was delicious (reminded me of old days of my childhood). I would definitely have a tour again
