From beautiful colonial architecture to spectacular views from Peñón Rock. Enjoy the best of Guatapé on this day trip from Medellín.

Guatapé Day Trip

We'll meet at the indicated time at the meeting point in Medellín that you selected and head east. During the trip to Guatapé, which will take approximately two and a half hours, we'll enjoy the mountainous landscapes of eastern Antioquia.

On the way, we'll stop for breakfast and a drink, plus we'll visit a farm where you can interact with llamas, fish, horses, and other animals.

After a 1.5-hour break at the farm, we'll continue our road trip to the famous Piedra del Peñol, or the Rock of Peñol, also known as El Peñón of Guatapé. This enormous monolith towers more than 200 meters (656 feet) above the surrounding countryside.

You'll have an hour and a half of free time here, during which you'll have the opportunity to climb to the peak of the Rock. Climbing the 740 steps gives you incredible panoramic views over the breathtaking Peñol Reservoir below.

Worked up an appetite? We'll stop at a nearby restaurant to enjoy a full traditional lunch with a choice of three different dishes. With your appetite satiated, we'll then enjoy a rumbero boat ride on the Peñol reservoir. For 40 minutes, you'll enjoy a festive atmosphere and music on board while admiring the surroundings of this place, which will give you an unforgettable image of Colombia's natural heritage.

The final part of your day trip involves a guided walking tour of Guatapé. During the tour of this colonial town, we'll discover its most emblematic landmarks and monuments, like the Church of Our Lady of Carmen and the colorful Plaza de los Zócalos. Afterward, you'll have an hour of free time to explore the town at your leisure.

Following the tour of Guatapé, we'll return to Medellín after a 12-hour excursion.

Lunch Info

You'll have the choice of three different menu options for lunch:

Menu 1: rice, salad, potatoes, patacón (fried plantain), and trout.
Menu 2: the same as Menu 1, but with grilled chicken instead of trout.

If you require a vegetarian menu, please let your guide know on the day of the tour. This menu includes bean soup, rice, salad, patacón, eggs, avocado, and arepas.

All dishes are served with a typical local drink: aguapanela, or sugarcane water, with lemon, a very popular natural soft drink in Colombia.

Parque del Poblado (Intersection of Carrera 43a & Calle 9): pickup at 7 am
