What travelers are saying
"The Comuna 13 tour was the highlight of our trip. The street art is incredible and our local guide shared the real story of how the neighborhood changed. The cable car views over Medellin were unforgettable."
"Climbing the 740 steps of El Penol was worth every one. The view at the top is stunning. Guatape town is so colorful and the boat ride was relaxing. Well organized full day from Medellin."
"We learned the whole coffee process from bean to cup on a real finca outside Medellin. The family was so welcoming and the fresh coffee was the best we have ever tasted. A perfect Antioquia day."

Medellin is much safer than its past reputation, especially in tourist areas like El Poblado, Laureles, and on guided tours. Booking a local guide for Comuna 13 and other neighborhoods is recommended. Use registered taxis or apps and keep valuables out of sight, as in any large city.
Medellin is called the city of eternal spring, with mild weather year round around 22C. The driest months are December to March and July to August. The rainy season runs April to May and September to November, with short afternoon showers that rarely stop tours.
Guatape is about 2 hours from Medellin by road. Most visitors book an organized day trip that includes transport, El Penol rock, the colorful town, and often a boat ride. Public buses leave from Terminal del Norte if you prefer to go independently.
A local guide is strongly recommended for Comuna 13. Guides who grew up in the neighborhood explain the street art, the history, and the outdoor escalators, and they know which areas are best to visit. Most tours also include the cable car ride for views over the city.
We recommend booking at least 24 to 48 hours in advance, especially in high season (December to January and July) when popular tours sell out quickly. Paragliding and private coffee tours have limited daily slots. Instant confirmation on all bookings.
Yes. Most tours offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before departure are non-refundable. Check the specific tour for details.
