Overview

  • WELCOME to Colombia's most charming and colourful tour: the GUATAPÉ TOUR! Unlike large tours with one guide for 40 people, you will travel in a shared bus, but each guide accompanies a MAXIMUM GROUP of 18 people to ensure a more intimate experience at an affordable price.

    We start with a DELICIOUS BREAKFAST. Then, we will visit the TOWN OF PEÑOL and its FAMOUS REPLICA.

    The best is yet to come! The PIEDRA DEL PEÑOL challenges you with its 700 steps. Are you up for climbing and enjoying a 360º view? You can do it!

    After a TRADITIONAL LUNCH, we will take a relaxing PREMIUM BOAT RIDE to admire the incredible landscapes and properties.

    Later, we will visit the town of Guatapé with our guide: CALLE DE LAS SOMBRILLAS, PLAZA DE LOS ZÓCALOS, CALLE DEL RECUERDO, and PARQUE CENTRAL, and you will have time to explore at your own pace.

    Finally, we will interact with adorable animals such as LLAMAS.

    Discover the magic of Guatapé on a tour you will always remember!

      Activity itinerary

      Medellin (Pass by)

      We will meet at the agreed time with the guide in Parque del Poblado to begin this exciting adventure to the famous town of zócalos: Guatapé!

      Marinilla

      To start the day with the best energy, we will take a short break along the way to enjoy a rich traditional breakfast.

      Penol (Pass by)

      Next, we will pass through the town of the New Peñol, whose urban centre was built as a result of the relocation of the inhabitants of the Old Peñol when the construction of the Guatapé dam became effective. As we drive down its high street, we will see the iconic sculpture of the Phoenix, symbolising the rebirth of the community, and a colourful mural honouring tomato growers, key figures in the region's economy and culture.

      Parque Tematico Replica del Viejo Penol

      • 15m
      • Admission ticket included
      Our first stop is the Réplica of the Old Peñol, a scale replica of the old town square where we can enjoy a majestic view of the dam and admire the colonial style of its architecture. Get your camera ready and take a photo of yourself dressed up in a ruana on one of the balconies of the establishments you'll find there!

      Finally, we will take a short walking tour with our guide, exploring the most emblematic corners of Guatapé, such as the iconic Calle de las Sombrillas, Plaza de los Zócalos, Calle del Recuerdo, and Parque Central. You will then have free time to continue exploring the town at your own pace or, if you wish, complement your experience by riding a jet ski or taking a spectacular helicopter flight, creating memories that will remain in your hearts forever!
