Leave Medellín for Salto de Buey Natural Reserve on a private 9 to 10-hour outing. With guides such as Felipe or Philippe, you’ll hike to a powerful waterfall, ride two 700-meter zip lines, and relax in sky hammocks high above the canyon. Bring energy for the mountain roads and walking.

“An absolute must do for the adventurous! Felipe was a fantastic guide, lots of energy and knowledge. We began with a stop at a beautiful waterfall along the way to the main attraction. Once we got to the Los Saltos Ecopark, we hiked down to a long zip line across a canyon with epic views. After than we hiked down to the base of an intense, impressive waterfall. So beautiful! After a lunch among the trees at a small cafe, I got to relax in a hammock…. On the zip line 400m in the air!”
