Detailed itinerary

1

Colombia is the most diverse country in the world in fruit production, as we grow over 430 fruits throughout our territory.

This is why we think we should take you to a fruit stand to try some of them.

In this short stop we provide you different exotic fruits you probably didn’t even know existed, with intense sour or sweet flavors.

How many of these exotic fruits have you tried? Wait no more and try them with us, you never know if you will have another chance in the future.

After delighting the palate with these exotic fruits we are ready to head to our second stop: The Guatape Rock.

2

Second Stop: Climbing Up The Guatape Rock
At this massive rock you get the chance to climb up it. It has 749 steps and takes around 50 minutes to go up and down.

Once you reach the top, you can stay up there for as long as you wish as you witness one of the most beautiful views you have ever seen.

This is not only our opinion but that of hundreds of tourists we have taken there.

However, our Guatape and Jet-Ski Ride Tour still has more to offer.

Our next destination is Guatape, one of the most colorful and picturesque towns in Colombia.

3

At this town we take a fully narrated walking tour through the town’s landmarks: church, main square, remembrance street, Zocalos Square and more.

Once the walking tour has concluded we take you to the best restaurant in town to have a traditional delicious lunch (not included in the tour) where you have more than 20 different options to try the local cuisine accompanied by a cold sangria or a craft beer.

After we have seen all the beautiful places this town has to offer we get ready to sail. The Jet-ski awaits us to start an amazing ride around the lake for around 1 hour.

4

Our Jet-skis are 1000cc meaning that you have a good engine to have a nice experience. The time included in this tour is 45 minutes.

Your tour guide will give you all the riding instructions, life vests and insurance registration (included in the tour).

You will be riding by yourself however for your own security we ask you to follow all the safety instructions.

In case you want to ride with your partner we will not charge you any extra money, however please keep in mind that you can’t switch drivers.

Whether you have jet-skis experience or not everyone agrees in that having the huge and beautiful rock of Guatape all the time in your sight makes it a unique ride.

You can ride the Jet-Ski anywhere you want as long as you know the way back but bear in mind that in case you crash the jet-ski there is a fine you need to pay starting of 300.000 pesos (around $75USD) to get it fixed, not to mention that you could get hurt and ruin the rest of your trip so please drive it carefully.

What's not included

If you wish to climb the rock the entrance fees are 30000 pesos (around $8) payable on site.
