Medellín Zipline to a 100m Waterfall: Giant Falls & Private Zipline Tour
Fly above canyon walls on Colombia’s longest private ziplines, then hike down to feel the spray of a 100‑meter waterfall. This full‑day private tour from Medellín blends adrenaline with a close-up taste of Antioquia’s mountain landscapes.
The Experience
Before You Go
Know the limits
Participants must weigh under 99 kg (218 lbs) and meet body‑measurement limits; be honest on booking to avoid denial at the site.
Wear proper footwear
Closed, grippy hiking shoes are mandatory—no sandals or flip‑flops—and bring a second pair to change into after the waterfall.
Bring cash and a dry bag
Lunch is not included and some small vendors accept only pesos; use a dry bag to keep electronics and clothes safe from spray.
Expect variable weather
The trail gets slick when it rains—check forecasts and allow extra time; heavy rain can make the hike strenuous and the guides may alter plans.

Conservation Note
The reserve relies on visitor fees and local guides to fund trail maintenance; stay on marked paths and pack out waste to protect fragile highland streams.
This area of Antioquia has long been shaped by coffee cultivation and smallholder farms; trails followed by mule trains now double as ecotourism routes.
