Offered in: English and 1 more

Get to know Guatapé, the most colorful town in Colombia, without worrying about anything: we pick you up at your hotel and take you back.
We had breakfast on the road and stopped at a viewpoint with an animal farm, ideal for the first photos. Then we visited El Peñol and the replica of the old town, which was submerged when the dam was built.
At Piedra del Peñol you have about an hour free to climb its 700 steps (entrance not included: $35,000 COP, cash only) or take photos below. Afterward, a 50-minute boat or jet ski ride on the dam, typical lunch with a view, and a walk through Guatapé and its zócalos, the hand-painted colorful facades.
Pickup at hotels in El Poblado, Laureles, and Estadio between 7:00 and 7:30 a.m. Returning to Medellín between 6:30 and 7:00 p.m., depending on traffic. Guide in Spanish or English: choose your language when booking.
