Guatapé Tour Details
Why miss out on beautiful landscapes when LandVenture Travel can take you through the most scenic route between Medellin and Guatapé?
During this Medellín Guatapé Tour, we will take you there but without missing out on driving through one of the most exclusive areas of Medellin´s eastern suburbs. Join us on our tour to visit one of the most unique pueblos in Colombia, and enjoy the drive between Medellin and Guatapé.
Enjoy colorful farmland in the proximity of El Peñol as a mouth-opener to the wonderful views that you will get from the Rock. Climbing the 700+ stairs to the top of the 220-meter high rock offers 360-degree breathtaking views of the surrounding areas.
But if you’re not into climbing stairs, we can spend extra time exploring the colorfully painted facades (zócalos) of Guatapé’s houses and walking along the waterfront in town.
As an optional activity and at an additional cost, we can include a boat ride around the lake in your Guatapé Tour package, which takes us past the vacation houses of famous and infamous Colombian celebrities.
And if you would like to add an optional horse ride on the way back to Medellín, just let us know so we can make the necessary arrangements.
