More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A morning lift from Medellín delivers you into the cool, green fold of the Antioquia mountains—winding roads, coffee-scented air and a clearing that opens onto a valley where the zipline launch perches more than 300 meters above the drop. Riders clip in, lean forward and the world slides away: the valley loosens beneath you, the river dares you with its ribbon of white, and the first 700-meter flight sets the tone for a day that mixes altitude with earth.

Respect the weight limit
The zipline enforces a maximum of 99 kg (about 218 lb); confirm weight and any clothing or gear that could add to it at booking.
Wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes
Trails to the waterfall are uneven and can be slippery—trail runners or hiking shoes improve traction and ankle support.
Pack a waterproof layer
Mountain weather can shift quickly; a lightweight rain jacket and quick-dry clothes keep you comfortable during hikes and while waiting at launch platforms.
Secure electronics and valuables
Use a wrist or chest strap for cameras/phones and a small dry bag for essentials—the zipline and waterfall spray can easily dislodge loose items.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Provide traction on muddy, rocky trails to the waterfall and stability on zipline platforms.
Reusable water bottle (1–2L)
Hydration for a long day in warm mountain sun and during the hike—refill where available.
Light rain jacket
Quick protection against sudden mountain showers common in Antioquia's wetter months.
