Delve into the deepest part of Colombia and discover one of its greatest treasures: Guatapé, known as the "heart of eastern Antioquia" or "El Paraíso paisa". With this day trip, which takes you from Medellín and brings you back to the capital of the region, you will get to know the culture, gastronomy and natural beauty of Antioquia.

This experience includes a typical breakfast at the beginning of the tour. Recharge your batteries for the rest of the trip and enjoy the taste of Colombia. Later on, you can climb the Piedra del Peñol. This is a monolith composed of quartz, feldspar and mica that is more than 200 metres high and can be reached by stairs. From the top you can enjoy exceptional panoramic views.

After the ascent to this tourist attraction in Guatepé, you can recover your strength by enjoying a typical Antioquian lunch in a local restaurant. To continue your journey, you will visit the town of Guatepé, where you can marvel at its skirting boards, the umbrella street, the Malecón and its houses decorated with colourful bas-reliefs.

    Our bus ride back to Medellín took about 4 hours, but it was worth every minute. Guatapé left us with unforgettable memories and a desire to return to explore more of Colombia in the future.
