Description
This full-day trip from Medellín pairs Guatapé's two must-see icons — El Peñol Rock and the colorful town — with boat cruise and an extra panoramic stop at Alto del Chocho that most standard tours leave out.
Your day starts with hotel pickup in Medellín and a scenic drive into the Antioquian highlands, with a typical Colombian breakfast along the way. At El Peñol, you'll have free time to admire the 220-meter monolith and optionally climb its 700+ steps for one of the most photographed views in South America.
Next, board your cruise to glide past green islands, lakeside mansions, and the famous flooded valley. After a typical Antioquian lunch, explore Guatapé's pastel streets and hand-painted zócalos at walking pace, with your local guide sharing the stories behind the town's traditions.
Before heading back, you'll stop at Alto del Chocho, a sweeping viewpoint over the reservoir that rounds off the day with one last unforgettable panorama. Return drop-off in Medellín included.
