* We pick travelers right up at their hotels or Airbnbs and there’s no extra charge for that as long as they’re staying in the Poblado area. There is an extra charge of US$10 in total (not per person) for pick-ups or drop-offs outside the Poblado area.
During this Guatapé Tour out of Medellín, you will visit one of the most unique pueblos in Colombia where the beautiful views from the top of the Rock of El Peñol make this a must-see tour destination. Enjoy colorful farmland in the proximity of El Peñol as a mouth-opener to the wonderful views that you will get from the Rock. Climbing the 700+ stairs to the top of the 220-meter-high rock offers 360-degree breathtaking views of the surrounding areas. But if you're not into climbing stairs, we can spend extra time exploring the colorfully painted facades (zócalos) of Guatapé's houses and walking along the waterfront in town. As an optional activity and at an additional cost, we can include a boat ride around the lake that takes us past vacation houses of famous and infamous Colombian celebrities.
