Waterskiing in Guatapé: Glide Like a Legend Across the Lake

Guatapé isn’t just a beautiful lakeside town—it’s a launchpad for bold adventure. And if you’re the kind who wants to command the lake with style, strength, and speed, waterskiing is your call to action. Whether you're chasing that first perfect ride or carving like a Norse god, Vikingos has the gear, the guides, and the good vibes to make it legendary.

Why Waterski in Guatapé?

The Guatapé Reservoir is no ordinary body of water. Spanning more than 2,200 hectares with pristine, wide-open lanes, this scenic wonderland offers ideal conditions for waterskiing. Early mornings often deliver mirror-flat water, creating the perfect canvas for clean cuts and sharp turns. Surrounded by mountains and iconic islets, every ride feels like flying through a dream.
