Description
Discover the vibrant town of Guatapé and the stunning Piedra del Peñol on a private tour from Medellín. Enjoy a boat ride on the Guatapé Reservoir and visit the Upside Down House.
Begin with a pickup from your accommodation in Medellín in a private, modern, and fully insured vehicle, driven by a certified professional guide. During the journey, enjoy mountain landscapes, reservoirs, and picturesque Antioquia villages, while receiving interesting information about the history, culture, and local life.
Escape to Granja El Alto del Chocho, a beautiful countryside haven located in the mountains of Marinilla, where nature, tradition, and tranquility meet. Step into history at El Viejo Peñol Replica, a charming small town built to honor the original village of El Peñol, which now lies beneath the waters of the Guatapé Reservoir.
Experience the magic of Guatapé from a whole new perspective as you cruise along the calm, emerald waters of the Guatapé Reservoir. Surrounded by lush mountains and dotted with small islands, this boat ride is one of the most relaxing and unforgettable moments of your visit.
Discover one of Colombia’s most impressive natural wonders — La Piedra del Peñol, a massive granite monolith that rises over 220 meters (720 feet) above the stunning Guatapé Reservoir.
Welcome to Guatapé, a magical town bursting with color, art, and tradition, nestled between the mountains and the sparkling waters of its famous reservoir. Every corner of Guatapé is a work of art — its streets are lined with brightly painted houses and unique “zócalos”, hand-carved decorations that tell stories of the people, animals, and culture of the region.
As you stroll through its charming alleys, feel the warmth of its locals, the rhythm of its music, and the joyful energy that makes this town unforgettable. Visit the house upside down, an interactive, visual, and very original experience, which mixes humor and amazement, leaving incredible memories and photos.
