Medellín Zipline, ATV & Horseback Riding Private Tour

Three extreme sports in one day, without arranging any of it yourself

A full-day private activity from Medellín combining zip lining on Colombia's second-highest line, ATV riding and horseback riding, with hotel pickup and drop-off, bilingual guide and all equipment provided. The day runs 12 hours and includes certified instructors for each activity; minimum age is 8 years, and participants must weigh no more than 100 kg (220 lbs).

The Experience

You get picked up from your hotel in Medellín and driven in a private air-conditioned vehicle to three separate adventure sites outside the city. The guide speaks both English and Spanish, and every piece of equipment—harnesses, helmets, protective gear for the ATV—arrives with you. No renting separately, no figuring out what fits: it's all there and fitted to your size before you start.

The zip line is the draw: Colombia's second-highest line, where you're clipped in and sent across the canopy with an instructor managing the descent. After that comes horseback riding through the landscape around Medellín—a full ride, not a loop around a corral—and then ATV time on trails where you control the machine yourself. Each activity has its own certified instructor, so even if you've never done any of it, you're not learning on the fly. The whole sequence takes 12 hours from pickup to drop-off, which means you're moving between sites and gearing up, not sitting idle.

Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes; bring sunscreen and a hat. The guide checks everyone's temperature at the start of the day as a standard safety measure. If you're traveling with kids, they need to be at least 8 years old and accompanied by an adult the whole time. Infants and small children can stay in a pram or stroller during transport between activities.

Top questions

What's the second-highest zip line in Colombia like?

The zip line is the centerpiece of the day—a high canopy crossing where a certified instructor manages your descent and speed. It's the most extreme of the three activities, and the guide handles the technical setup so you focus on the ride itself.

Do I need experience with ATVs or horses to book this?

No. Each activity comes with a certified instructor, so beginners are welcome. The horseback ride is a full trail experience, not a beginner's loop, and the ATV section lets you control the machine yourself with guidance on hand.

How does hotel pickup work from Medellín?

The driver collects you from your hotel in the morning and returns you there at the end of the day. The vehicle is private and air-conditioned, so you're not sharing transport with other groups.

What should I bring or wear?

Wear long pants, comfortable closed-toe shoes and bring sunscreen and a hat. All adventure equipment—harnesses, helmets, protective gear—is provided and fitted to your size. Cash for any extras beyond the included activities is useful to have on hand.

Is this suitable for families with children?

Children can join if they're at least 8 years old and accompanied by an adult throughout the day. Infants and small children can travel in a pram or stroller during transport between sites, though they won't participate in the activities themselves.

What's the weight limit for the zip line and other activities?

The maximum weight allowed across all three activities is 100 kg (220 lbs). This is a safety requirement set by the equipment and certified instructors.
