Overview

This full-day bus tour from Medellín lasts about 8 to 9 hours and includes visits to El Peñol and Guatape with a professional guide. The tour begins with a drive of approximately one and a half hours through natural landscapes to El Peñol. There, travelers see the replica of the old town that was flooded to create a large hydroelectric lake covering 2,260 hectares. An optional boat ride (ticket not included) is available to explore the lake and view nearby attractions such as Pablo Escobar's "La Manuela" farm. Next, the tour visits the El Peñol rock, a 220-meter-high granite monolith. Visitors can climb its 740 steps to reach a viewing platform that offers extensive views of the surrounding region. The final stop is the town of Guatape, known for its colorful houses and friendly locals. Guests have time to walk around the zocalo square and lakeside promenade, and to enjoy lunch. The tour includes transportation in a private vehicle, a morning snack, entrance to El Peñol rock, and a visit to the zocalo area.
