    This was such a fun and unique experience—definitely not for the faint of heart, but one I'll remember for a long time. My guide, Rafael, was incredible. I felt completely safe with him, as he made sure to go at a pace that was comfortable for me. Although he didn't speak any English, we managed to communicate just fine. I highly recommend this tour for anyone seeking adventure and a deep connection with nature.

Guatapé Tours & Activities | Discover the Best of Colombia

Guatapé is a lively town nestled in the heart of Antioquia, Colombia, famous for its colorful houses and stunning landscapes. Just a couple of hours from Medellín, this destination is a perfect getaway for those seeking vibrant streets, serene lakes, and unique Colombian charm. From the impressive El Peñol Rock to the tranquil waters that surround the city, there's something here for every traveler.

A Brief Look at the Past

Once a quiet farming village, Guatapé transformed over the years with the creation of the artificial lake and the rise of tourism. The town has maintained its strong traditions, and its artistic heritage shines through in the famous bright "zócalos" that adorn every building, telling stories from local lives and customs.

When to Visit

You can enjoy Guatapé throughout the year thanks to its mild climate. However, the months from December to March tend to be sunnier and are ideal for outdoor activities and climbing El Peñol Rock. Weekdays are usually quieter, while weekends are livelier with more visitors.
