Highlights
  • Parque de Marinilla - Colombia is the most diverse country in the world in fruit production as we grow over 430 fruits throughout our territory.

This is why we think we should take you to a fruit stand to try some of the most delicious ones.

In this short stop, we are going to visit a farmers’ market so you can be in a non-touristy place. Once there we provide you different exotic fruits you probably didn’t even know existed, with intense sour or sweet flavors.

This is around a 20 minutes stop that is on the way to Guatape but our guests have loved it so far, so we are sure you are going to love it too.

It is also a good opportunity to stretch your legs after 1 hour of sitting in the car before we reach the replica town, our next stop.

Additional Information

After retrieving you from your location in our private transportation, we proceed towards the east, venturing into the region of Guatape.

The initial stop of this Guatape journey allows you to sample a variety of unusual fruits, possessing flavors ranging from tart to sweet.

The next destination brings us to a replica of a submerged town; here, you’ll gain an insight into the lifestyles of the original drowned town inhabitants. The history of the town is narrated by your guide, accompanied with visual aids that show its past condition.

On departing from this model, we make our way to the colossal Guatape Rock or Piedra del Peñol where you are given the opportunity to ascend it. Upon reaching the summit, you may linger and revel in one of the most breathtaking vistas you’ve ever laid eyes on.

Lastly, we make our way to Guatape: The City of Zocalos. It’s one of Colombia’s most vibrant and picture-perfect towns. Wondering about the origins of the Zocalo custom and its purpose? Join us on this tour to discover! Make your booking now!!

Best way to see Medellin & Guatape - Highlight of the trip. Erika, the tour guide was brilliant and we could not fault her. We had the full authentic experience accompanied by the historical backgrounds of each area. She helped every step of the way and we felt so at ease making out way through the deep history of Colombia. Highly recommend. 10/10

Sara was the best guide! - The tour was amazing we had so much fun despite the rain. The rock was a lot of steps but worth the view. Guatape was picturesque. The best part of the entire tour was Sara. She was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly. She brought us to the fruit stand and explained everything while we tasted the delicious fruits. She answered every question and gave us many recommendations for Medellin as well as other locations we were traveling. I would recommend any tour with Sara.

Insights into the country and its people - Sara is full of energy and gave us so much information about the country and life here on the way there. The detour to the fruit market was also great. And finally the visit to the rock and the small town of Guatape. Definitely recommended as a day trip!

Perfect day trip into nature with 5* guide Erika - We were so happy with our knowledgable tour guide Erika exploring a coffee planation that we booked this excursion to Guatape rock and village the following day ... of course with Erika! Exploring a foreign country through the eyes of a knowledgable local guide is the best way to discover its natural beauty, history, artisans, food specialties, etc. Erika is a wonderful (English) communicator, very educated and engaging story teller. Extra bonus: she is an excellent driver, and truly cares that you have a wonderful experience. We highly recommend her for any tour you choose.

Fun experience with Erika - The tour covered drive to Guatape rock, fruit tasting, walk through Guatape village and lunch. My guide Erika was amazing telling me about the history of the rock and reservoir as we drove to it. The climb up the rock is fun and provides amazing views of the man made lake. The most enjoyable part of the trip was the walk through Guatape village with its artistic and colourful homes. We had lunch in a beautiful restaurant with views of the reservoir. I also did a fruit tasting with Erika and loved it.
