Discover one of Colombia’s most iconic day trips with LandVenture Travel. Our private Medellín to Guatapé Tour combines breathtaking mountain landscapes, cultural immersion, and flexible experiences tailored to your interests.
Scenic Drive from Medellín
Your adventure begins with a drive through Medellín’s exclusive eastern suburbs, offering panoramic views of the lush countryside. Along the way, you’ll pass vibrant farmland near El Peñol, a preview of the spectacular scenery awaiting you at the famous Rock of Guatapé (La Piedra del Peñol).
Climb La Piedra del Peñol
Challenge yourself with the climb up 700+ steps to the top of this 220‑meter monolith. At the summit, enjoy a 360‑degree view of lakes, mountains, and islands — one of the most photographed and unforgettable sights in Colombia.
Explore Colorful Guatapé
Prefer to skip the climb? Spend more time exploring Guatapé’s charming streets, admiring its world‑famous zócalos (painted bas‑relief facades), and strolling along the scenic waterfront promenade. This vibrant town is often called “the most colorful town in Colombia.”

Boat ride on the Guatapé Reservoir – Cruise past vacation homes of well‑known Colombian figures while enjoying the peaceful waters.
