- Guatapé -

Beginning the tour at the door of your lodging in Medellín, we drive east direction to the outskirts of the city in a comfortable car for two hours, where you listen from your private guide about the "paisa" traditions, culture and history while enjoying the panoramic view from the valley and the beautiful nature and immense mountains, crossing the small towns, Guarne, Marinilla and El Peñol, before getting to Guatapé.

 

 

 

In Marinilla we make a quick stop to try tropical Colombian fruits, you can delight your palate with the sweetest and most bitter fruits, some of them, probably you didn't know that existed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before getting to the well known rock of Guatapé, we visit the replica town of the old Peñol, where you can get souvenirs of the trip and also know more from the past of this region before the construction of the dam, the one that flooded the old town.

 

Continue heading to the boulder, get ready to climb the 740 steps to reach the top of the 220 meters (657 ft) high rock that adorns the landscape of eastern Antioquia and enjoy a breathtaking 360 degrees view from the dam and surronding areas to capture unforgettable pictures.

 

 

Our next stop is going to be Guatapé, where we enjoy lunch before the stroll through the most important lamdmarks such as the main square, zócalos square, remembrance street, the waterfront, and the church of a town full of color, friendly people and corners with fascinating stories that your guide is going to share with you, how the tradition of "zócalos" (houses facades painted) started and why is important for the inhabitants; if you are a coffee lover, you have time to enjoy in a coffee store, but if you are a chocolatte fan, there's a chocolatte store also for you, also there's time to buy handicraft from the local stores.

If you don't want to climb the rock, don't worry we will spend extra time in the walking tour around the town to see the architecture full of colors, optional we can ride a boat in the dam to see old vacation houses from famous and infamous celebrities of the country.
