Really good lineup of activities to fill the day. Firstly, it was easy to find the coach and guide and it was a comfortable ride. The meals included were great and I liked the fact that the food was local so I could try local cuisine! After breakfast in the countryside, we reached Piedra del Peñol (the rock) and felt like we had plenty of time there. It was worth a visit. Then on to the boat trip which was a nice way to see more of the area on a sunny day. The only bad bit of the tour was the walking tour, it had 3 stops, 1 being a shop which the guide had a discount voucher for. Didn’t learn much and she wasn’t great and keeping the group with her but the free time meant we had time to look around ourselves. Some more history etc would’ve been good that’s all! Overall, an efficient and well run trip that allowed us to see the area in a day from Medellin!
