Day trip to Guatapé & El Peñol

Get out of the city with a full day tour to Guatapé. This Antioquian town’s rolling green hills, fresh water lakes and pastel-coloured houses make it one of Colombia’s most picturesque pueblos. It is also home to the iconic mammoth rock, El Peñon, a truly unique tourist attraction!

Travel to Guatapé from Medellín on a comfortable coach. This charming town is also known as Pueblo de Zócalos. Zócalo means main square, and this name references the pictures of village life painted onto the lower half of houses and buildings in the town. Guatapé is a relaxing and extremely photogenic place to take a stroll through, whilst browsing the handicrafts at the local markets. In this tour to Guatapé you will visit also El Peñol rock (also called La Piedra), a monolithic structure towering at 7,000 feet above sea level. Climb the many stairs to the top – worth the effort for the spectacular views from the top. Catch your breath, taking in the 360-degree views, and enjoy lunch at the top of the rock (not included). 

Guatapé may be a small town, not on your tourist radar, but a visit to this quaint little pueblo is not to be missed. It’s unique charm; gorgeous nature and an amazing rock landmark will make it one of your most memorable day trips in Colombia! Don’t miss out; book this full day tour to Guatapé now!
