Overview

The highlight of this full-day trip from Medellín is the chance to climb the 742 stairs of Piedra del Peñol, where views of Lake Guatapé and the surrounding mountains can be seen. The climb is optional and requires a separate entrance fee. After a two-hour drive from Medellín, the tour begins with breakfast before heading to the rock for about one and a half hours to allow enough time to ascend and descend at a comfortable pace. Following the climb, a 45-minute boat ride on Lake Guatapé offers views of the reservoir and nearby landscape, accompanied by information from the guide and music. Lunch is served at a typical regional restaurant along Guatapé’s Malecón, with three local dish options available. The afternoon includes a walking tour of Guatapé’s town center, followed by an hour of free time to explore independently. The day concludes with a return trip to Medellín, arriving back between 6:00 pm and 7:00 pm. Transportation is provided in an air-conditioned vehicle, and bilingual guides lead the tour. Breakfast, lunch, local taxes, and travel insurance are included, but the entrance fee to climb Piedra del Peñol is not included.
