Medellin, Colombia: El Peñol of Guatape with Lunch. Escape the city and immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes of Guatape and El Peñol, where dramatic natural beauty meets vibrant colonial charm. This full-day tour takes you east of Medellin into the rolling hills of Antioquia, offering panoramic views, rich history, and a serene lake experience.
Your journey begins with a visit to El Peñol, a 65-million-year-old monolithic rock that rises over 200 meters above the shimmering reservoir. For those up for the challenge, climb the 740 zigzagging steps built into the rock’s face to reach the summit. The reward? Unparalleled 360-degree views of the sprawling emerald lake and lush mountains below—a sight that rivals some of the world’s most iconic landscapes.
Continue to Guatape, a picturesque lakeside town known for its vividly painted houses, intricate zocalos (bas-relief murals), and charming cobblestone streets. Wander through Zocalo Park, explore the colorful Calle del Recuerdo, and soak in the lively local culture. Cap off your adventure with a scenic boat ride on the lake, where you’ll glide past luxurious waterfront homes, including estates once owned by Medellín’s most infamous figures.
