It was a nice day trip! The driver Diego is really friendly and knows how to manage the traffic around Bogotá. The stop at el Salto del Tequendama was great, time to stretchy your legs and take great pictures. The tour at Hacienda Coloma was awesome, Laura our tour guide really friendly and knows a lot, liked that it was not only talking but interactive, plucking coffee beans, grinding, it’s an experience for those who love coffee. Later Diego took us to a Colombian fruit tasting, at the Plaza de Mercado also a nice experience, we got some Uchuvas, Granadillas, Tomate de Árbol, Lulo and Pitaya. Having lunch in a restaurant near the road was nice. I just recommend that when taking this tour, make sure you don’t have any other appointment in the afternoon as entering again to Bogota via Soacha can be very tricky as the traffic in the city is chaotic and the drivers do their best to take us safe to our locations, but can take longer. Highly recommended! Gracias Diego and team!

Rodrigo the tour guide was great. Met at 8:30 at hostel. Breakfast was solid. About a 1.5hr drive into Choachi. Great views on ride. About 5hr hike to the waterfall. On the way back lunch and another smaller waterfall. We had some furry friends follow us from there. This was well worth the money and an experience I’ll remember forever.

Fantastic day out, hoghly recommended and one of the hoghlights of my visit to Columbia. We went in a small group and the driver and guide were excellent.

The getyourguide company was great and the local guides very attentive!

An all around amazing experience w/ one of the best guides - Rodrigo!
