What To Expect

Meet your guide at the Medellin meeting point in the morning. From there, you’ll travel directly to Peñol Rock (La Piedra del Peñol) in the town of Guatapé—the journey lasts around 2 hours. There, you’ll have the chance to climb the 742 steps that lead to the summit of the distinctly-shaped rock and soak up panoramic views of Lake Guatapé below.

Once you’ve caught your breath at the bottom, you’ll then travel a short distance to board a boat for a ride through the Peñol Guatapé Dam, for a fresh perspective of the area from the water.

Finally, you’ll have time to explore Plazoleta de los Zocalos—a craft market and the town’s most colorful enclave, made famous by its umbrellas. Once you’ve picked up your souvenirs, you’ll then board the bus and head back to the original meeting point in Medellin.

Great Experience

Abigail_F, May 2024

Phil was a great English speaking tour guide. The tour was very comprehensive and climbing the Guatape rock was the highlight!

Great tour could see so much

Dioselina_A, Apr 2024

Tour was amazing! Phil, Alejandro and Xavier were so helpful and informative. They made sure to take time with showing you the beautiful city. Make sure to wear sneakers!

Jam packed day. Great value.

Priscilla_C, Apr 2024

Phil was an excellent tour leader and translator. Very caring and responsive to everyone's needs. The day was packed from start to finish and, other than the very dangerous muddy and slippery walkway to the boat, the day was wonderful and great value.

Guatape Budget Tour Well Worth the Price

Whitney_S, Apr 2024

The tour was great. Our English guide Phil was very knowledgeable and helpful. It lasted about 12 hours from pickup to drop off. It’s cheaper than other Guatape tours so it’s good value for the price. Highly recommend! Thank you Phil (and Yuliza)!

Great tour, must see if in Medellin

Hussain_J, Apr 2024

Very good tour and the tour company the guides were awesome. Highly recommended. 2 hours drive worth it, nice scenery and Guatape town. Lunch provided was awesome.

Had fun

Daerresha_B, Apr 2024

Phil and Yuliza were awesome! Phil did a great job explaining everything and talking about the history.

Such a great experience!

Alex_K, Apr 2024

Such a great tour! All went smoothly and the team was very knowledgeable and professional. Despite the rain at the end of the day, we still had time for the walking tour of the beautiful town of Guatape and more. The lunch options were also delicious!

Amazing cultural experience.

Harsh_P, Apr 2024

David, Sandy were super knowledgeable tour guides. They answered questions and gave us a good history of the area. Mr. Alberto helped get us to every location in a timely fashion! They were a fantastic team and would recommend working with them again.

The tour was informative...

Sabrina_R, Apr 2024

The tour was informative and well organized. Lunch was delicious ! Sergi took great care of our tour group.

Highly Recommended!

Raoul_R, Apr 2024

Sandy (English), Alejandro (Spanish), and our bus driver were awesome! Sandy was very knowledgeable, humourous, and genuinely wanted us to have a good time. The tour, even though for a full day, is well planned and has the right level of intensity to it. I was a little skeptical initally, given you go as a part of a big group, but Sandy didn't let me feel that way at all (Solo traveller). In fact I made some friends on the tour too! And when you consider the cost, this is totally worth it!

Nice trip to Guatape

Stefany_P, Apr 2024

Super nice trip to Guatape, as described. I recommend this activity for family, friends and couple trips. I loved it!

Well thought out tour with perfect timings

Hannah_C, Apr 2024

This was such a wonderful, well thought out, tour. Our guides, Sandy and Yuliza, were fantastic. As was the driver, Alberto. I felt like they allowed the perfect amount of time at each stop, especially at the rock, where there was plenty of time for all fitness abilities. Sandy, was humourous, remembered every ones name and just a joy to be around. Yuliza, was knowledgable and kind. Even though she was there as the Spanish guide her English was great!

Well organized.

Michelle_A, Apr 2024

Tour was well organized. Great food! Your guides Sergio and Alejandro and driver Luis excellent. Hike was great! Town beautiful!

Great your!

Thomas_L, Apr 2024

So wonderful. Sergi was a pleasure and so kind. Very well organized. La semana Santa is a very busy time to go FYI.

Great experience!! Well...

Korina_H, Apr 2024

Great experience!! Well worth the price for the amount of included activities. Guides were amazing!!

Highly recommend this day...

Jeremy_P, Apr 2024

Highly recommend this day trip if you're staying in Medellín! Guatapé and the rock were a great experience, and Sandy was an incredible tour guide.

A Nice Diversion from Medellin

Alden_C, Mar 2024

We went on this tour while we were staying in Medellin. Phil, the tour guide was great and so was the other guide and the driver on the trip. The climb up Pierda de Penon is challenging. The tour of Guatape was nice and the boat tour was a great experience. The timing of everything was nice and the tour catered to the needs of the guests. Definitely recommend if you're looking for a tour that is a little bit of everything outside of Medellin.

Sandy is the best guide

Michal_S, Mar 2024

Sandy was an amazing english guide! Everything was perfect. Places are greats . Worth for visit! Michal

Well planned and orgnized trip; worth my money.

Pei_Z, Mar 2024

Trip is well planned, guide Mr. Sergio and Louis are very friendly with good English communication, of course, 100% sense of humor. If something wrong, customer service team can be reached by What's App. Only thing I do not like during this trip is when I had lunch at designated resturant, there is a local singer performance; even if the tip is optional, almost everyone tipped the singer because it is unavoidable; I feel I am kidnapped.

Go!!!

Jennifer_D, Mar 2024

I had a wonderful time. It worth every penny. The guides did an amazing job!!! Lunch was. Plenty of places to shop!!!
