Tours in Buenavista, Quindío

Buenavista is a small mountain town in the south of Quindío, known as a natural balcony over the Coffee Region: from its viewpoints you can see much of the Quindío valley, with its coffee farms, bamboo groves and mountains.

Its star experience is paragliding: a tandem flight of 10 to 15 minutes with a certified pilot, no prior experience required. It includes the transfer from the town square to the launch site, medical insurance, a video and photos of your flight, and part of your adventure supports the sterilization of street animals in the municipality.

If you prefer to stay on the ground, Buenavista is also a stop on the Ruta de los Pueblos más lindos del Quindío, a Jeep Willys tour through mountain towns that keep their architecture and their quiet pace of life. Choose your option, review the details and book online, with no hidden costs.
