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.

Breathtaking experience. - I wasn't going to visit guatape. But my guide from the other tours sent me a message on WhatsApp and told me about their new tour and so I booked it from their website directly. It is a bit expensive but theguide Santi walked up with us and brought beers and water along the way. Where. We got to the top we had a few drinks and the views were breathtaking! So happy Vincent from Chubit Travel told me about their new tour! I will be here for a few more months. I know I will be doing more tours with them as they grow!
