Great day on class V rapids on the Calderas River. - Great experience from pick up to drop off. We had a lovely driver named Jorge who drove us about 2 hours from our hotel to the rafting spot. For the final few km, we hopped in a 4WD pick up truck to descend to the riverbed of the Calderas River. We had to walk a short way down a rocky road and then a narrow, muddy path through the tropical forest. Sandals with a heel strap are recommended. This was a serious and fun river run! It started off calmly and ramped up to multiple class V rapids! We didn’t see other rafts or humans for the entire 11km journey! We saw gold panning equipment along the river, but hardly any other signs of human life for 2 hours! Lots of beautiful flora and water birds along the way. The team, including another Jorge, Livardo, and the driver was professional. They gave us the requisite safety talk and instructions, helped us secure our belongings, and were very friendly. Midway, they treated us to a beautiful spread on giant banana leaves including pineapple, trail mix, bocadillos, corn cake, cacao, and mango juice. We all passed out on the ride back to Medellin. It was a day that will forever be planted in our wonderful memories of Colombia! Highly recommend.

Awesome adventure with a great crew. - White water rafting with Eco Tours was a truly great adventure with an awesome crew. The entire operation was first class from start to finish. The raft and all the other associated equipment were in tiptop shape. Our guide, and the two safety, observers were professional, clear, friendly, and inspired confidence. The route alternated periods of quiet drifting through lush jungle canopy with some exciting white water rapids. At the end of our journey, their driver was waiting with some light delicious snacks. I couldn’t have imagined a better adventure. A truly five-star experience. Can’t recommend it highly enough. These guys are great. Just do it.

Whitewater Rafting Day Trip from Medellin - Excellent rafting experience with Steven as captain, Nacho and Libardo as safety kayakers. The most amazing scenery, no other humans in sight and a series of progressively more difficult level 3-4 rapids. I fell out in one of the last more difficult ones but was quickly rescued. Safety was important to the team and their experience was evident. We will be back. Gracias amigos!

ATV + Rafting - Excellent trip to go with a couple or with a group of people. ATV is first thing in the morning after an hour trip then after lunch rafting
