This comprehensive full-day excursion ventures east of Medellín, taking you to the charming and iconic towns of Antioquia: El Peñol and Guatape.
Embark on a 1.5-hour scenic drive accompanied by a knowledgeable guide until you reach El Peñol, where you’ll uncover the intriguing tale of a township submerged beneath the lake’s surface. Ascend nearly 700 steps to the summit of the El Peñol rock for breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes (note: admission not included).
Your journey culminates at Zócalo town or Guatapé, idyllic settings for an independent lunch (at your cost) and a leisurely stroll through the vibrant streets or along the tranquil lake.
