Experience Details

What Makes This Tour Unique

This is not your typical day trip — it's a deeply personal experience hosted by Marco, the founder of Acua Experience and your private chef for the day.


You won’t be part of a group. You’ll explore Guatapé at your own pace, enjoy exclusive access to a private boat, and savor a gourmet Colombian tasting menu prepared just for you, right on the lake.


From the hidden spots only locals know to the flavors of Colombia reimagined with creativity and care, every detail is designed to make you feel like a special guest — not a tourist.


It’s the only experience in Guatapé that blends local culture, fine dining, lake exploration, and the warmth of a true host.

It was a great experience not much to do in Guatapé
July 05, 2025

It was nicely organized. It was very hot and crowded. Difficult climb if you are not in shape! The instructor/ guide was very pleasant.
