Get ready for the most comprehensive day trip from Medellín. From the moment we pick you up at your hotel, your bilingual guide will make sure you don't miss a single story, fact, or hidden gem along the way.
Your day begins with a traditional Antioquian breakfast—the perfect fuel before an action-packed day.
Then we head to the Piedra del Peñol, one of the most iconic natural monuments in Colombia. Standing at the base of this massive 220-meter (722-foot) rock is already breathtaking. The climb of 740 steps is optional and carries an additional cost, but those who make it to the top are rewarded with one of the most spectacular panoramic views in all of Colombia.
Next, we explore the colorful streets of Guatapé—its famous zocalos, vibrant murals, and charming boardwalk. It is one of the most photogenic towns in the country.
We then visit the replica of Old Peñol – a reconstruction of the original town that was submerged when the Guatape reservoir was built. A fascinating and emotional stop steeped in history.
After that, we will board a boat for a scenic cruise across the reservoir, passing by celebrity mansions and the legendary La Manuela—Pablo Escobar's former estate—while your guide shares the stories behind each landmark.
A full traditional lunch at a local restaurant follows, with multiple menu options to choose from.
We end the day at Alto del Chocho – a hilltop farm where you'll meet llamas, fish, goats, and other animals while enjoying stunning panoramic views. The perfect way to end an unforgettable day.
We drop you off back at your hotel. Sit back, relax, and let us take care of everything.
