Such a lovely area. Best seen from the top of El Penol. We also took a one hour boat tour on the lake around some of the islands but you don't really appreciate how beautiful the place is at eye level. Also as the commentary was only in Spanish we struggled to understand it.

I strongly recommend this tour!! I recently visited Medellín with friends & this was a very special day for our group. It’s hard to believe we only paid $35 USD for this incredible experience.. Our tour guide was Marlin, and he was attentive, fun & eager to share interesting facts about Guatape. Transportation was great. It’s about a two hour drive from Medellín, but we stopped for breakfast & lunch along our journey, which gave us plenty of time to relax and fully enjoy the experience. The places we stopped at for food were also excellent. The meals were delicious and overall, the environment/hospitality are incredible!

Fabulous experience on and viewing the water. Took a boat trip as part of day tour to Guatapé and the Piedra. Beautiful sites and interesting history. Highly recommend a visit. It’s spectacular to see it from the top of the Piedra.

We were in Medellin Colombia for my niece’s wedding. We stayed at the Hotel San Fernando, it was definitely a 5 star stay. The hotel was clean the service was great. Breakfast was delicious included each morning, at the front desk Juan was Excellent, just outside the hotel you can shop there is a beauty salon, barber shop, food court Italian restaurant, souvenir shopping and also you can get one hour massage for $35. American dollars can’t beat that. The wedding was at Le Celeste event facility in Rio Negro Tres Puertas it was the most extravagant wedding I have ever been to from the decor to the food and the entertainment definitely Wowed. It was not to far away. Was a beautiful green valley scenic route. We traveled Jet Blue so many flight delays & cancelation. Would recommend a different airline !!!
