Overview

This full-day tour lasts about nine to ten hours and begins in a busy neighborhood of Medellín where participants meet the guide and each other. The group travels through the Antioquian mountains to the first village, where they have a panoramic view and hear local history from the guide for about two hours. Next, the tour passes through Latin America's longest tunnel to reach Marinilla, known as the agricultural pantry of Medellín. Here, visitors spend one hour tasting strawberries with cream made from locally grown fruit. The tour continues to Peñol for thirty minutes, where guests learn about the town's history and try a local dessert made from tree tomato and panela. Afterward, the group takes a boat ride to La Manuela hacienda, once owned by Pablo Escobar. Visitors can explore the ruins or choose optional activities such as an ATV tour, jetski ride, or paintball game during the two-hour stop. The tour then arrives at Piedra del Peñol, a large natural monument with 740 steps leading to a viewpoint 220 meters high. Guests have two hours of free time to climb the stone (for an additional fee), take photos, and eat lunch at local restaurants; lunch is not included. The final stop is Guatapé town, where visitors spend two hours walking through streets decorated with colorful zócalos and visiting the town squares. The tour includes round-trip transportation, several local snacks and meals, entrance to La Manuela hacienda, and a visit to Alto del Chocho Farm. Rock climbing on the stone is not included and requires an extra payment if chosen.
