Overview

The day begins with hotel pickup in Medellín, starting the journey east toward Guatape in a special tourism vehicle. The first stop is Marinilla for breakfast, followed by a visit to the monument of Ave Fenix in Peñol. Next, the tour includes a visit to the Replica of Old Peñol. In Peñol, travelers take a boat tour of the dam, accompanied by crossover music. Afterward, the group visits Piedra del Peñol, a 220-meter-high monolith made of quartz, feldspar, and mica. Guests may climb the 740 steps to the summit if they choose, noting that the ascent fee is not included. The stone was first climbed in 1954 and remains privately owned. The final stop is the town of Guatape, known for its colorful streets with decorated baseboards that depict stories of the town's people. The tour lasts about nine and a half hours and includes a professional guide, breakfast, lunch, the boat tour, transport in a special vehicle, hotel pickup and drop-off (excluding hotels in the city center), and travel insurance. Gratuities and the Piedra del Peñol climb fee are not included.
