We will collect you from Medellin in a cooled private SUV or a 12-passenger van, depending on the group’s size. Enjoy the picturesque drive to the historic town of Guatapé, where you’ll see a model of the town now submerged in water. Once we reach the scenic town, take a leisurely walk along the charming cobblestone streets, accompanied by your well-informed guide. Visit local vendors to discover handcrafted gems. Take in the vibrantly colored colonial architecture, and then ready yourself for a 702-step ascent to the top of El Penol, guided by our team. After reaching the peak, situated 7,000 feet above sea level, enjoy the splendid views of the lush islands dotting the rich blue lake, and capture the otherworldly scenery on camera. Our guides will gladly assist you with photography and offer help as needed! We then travel to our local lunch spot (included) before returning to our vehicle and making a trip to the new town of Guatape. Here, we’ll enjoy a coffee break before making our return journey to Medellin.
