Additional Information

We’ll engage in a fascinating tour of a Guatapé coffee plantation, where local cultivators will guide us through the comprehensive process of coffee production - from planting the seed to indulging in a well-deserved cup of coffee. Here, you’ll also get the opportunity to momentarily step into the shoes of a coffee farmer by picking your own coffee beans.

Since we’re in Guatapé, a visit to the famous rock is mandatory. We’ll continue our journey to this famous landmark, where you’ll be challenged to ascend more than 708 steps to reach the peak, thus providing you with an awe-inspiring 360-degree panorama of eastern Antioquia. Be prepared to snap some unforgettable photos of the beautiful dam and surrounding sceneries.

Afterwards, we’ll retreat back to the town - but not before enjoying a hearty lunch! There we’ll take a leisurely stroll through the most notable landmarks of this vibrant town, brimming with affable locals and enticing tales just waiting to be shared. We’ll reveal the origins of the typical ‘zócalos’ (painted house frontages), and their importance to the townsfolk. For the chocoholics among us, a free visit to a chocolate shop is included, with additional time allocated for souvenir shopping at local artisan stores.

10/10 Would recommend - Views were amazing and the tour was very well paced. Oscar did a great job explaining the history of the area. The fruit tasting was also something we would've never been able to do without Oscar! Coffee tour was perfectly done.

Coffee and Guatape rock - Everything we wanted in a Medellian experience - a real coffee tour with a local family that operates a small coffee farm, Guatape rock, and a tour of the local towns. Wonderful experience.

Wow, just wow! - We booked the Guatapé rock climb, city tour, and coffee farm option. Our tour guide Julio was so down to earth and felt like a friend showing us his home. The views from the top of the rock were amazing! The town of Guatapé is beautiful and there are so many stunning photo opportunities! Julio shared neat history tidbits about the everywhere we went. The coffee plantation was surreal- a real life organic coffee farm that is family owned and operated- a truly authentic, eye opening experience. We finished the day with enough time to try crazy cool fruit at a local market. Don’t hesitate and book this tour! You will not regret it.

Great day trip from Medellin - Oscar was the perfect guide, and really made this day a great one. Picked up on time at the hotel, and we learned a ton about Columbia during the trip into the hills. We stopped for a fruit tasting before heading to the coffee farm, where we tried some new and interesting things. The coffee experience was great. Miller was a perfect host and very patient and friendly. The boat ride was pretty, and with more learning along the way. Oscar dedicated the whole day to us, and we added an unplanned stop on the way home for some chocolate con queso. It was a long day, and worth the investment. I would highly recommend this!

Best Part of Our Trip ! - Henry made our tour so incredible ! It was the best part of our trip by far. We stopped at a place with farm animals which was so amazing on our way to the rock and Guatape. In Guatape he brought us through its history and directed us to where we could get great Colombian food. To end our tour we went to the coffee farm where the wonderful local family explained the process for making coffee beans. Henry was very funny, spoke great English and made sure we were comfortable throughout the tour!’n
