Guatapé tour

Guatapé tour Medellín Colombia

Conquer Colombia's highest rock and master the Blue dragon

The first thing you should know about this Guatapé tour is that you’ll have the chance to explore one of the most beautiful and photogenic places not only in Colombia but in the entire world, just an hour and a half from Medellín.

Guatapé and El Peñol offer a tour that has it all: spring-like weather, unique colonial architecture, a large emerald-colored reservoir, a towering 220-meter-high monolith, and the most stunning panoramic views, globally recognized for their incomparable beauty.

Upon entering the town of Guatapé, you’ll discover a vibrant celebration of color prepared by its people. The cobbled, narrow streets are adorned with endless rows of multicolored houses, each competing to display the most original and eye-catching zócalo.

Embark on this tour to conquer El Peñol Rock with its 742 steps. We can tell you now that the climb is demanding, but we guarantee that when you reach the top, you’ll be rewarded with an incredible 360-degree view that will take your breath away.

Afterward, a relaxing walk along the Malecón will help you wind down. But if you really want to immerse yourself in the legend of the Blue Dragon, as this enigmatic place and its island-filled water complex are known, the best way is to hop on one of the many boats available at the dock.

We believe that a remarkable destination deserves an outstanding experience, so you can make the most of every second of this Guatapé tour from Medellín. That's why, at Hansa Tours, we’ve chosen the best professionals to guide you. Are you ready? So are we! Contact us and begin the adventure of a lifetime.

Jessy

By the end of the week, I felt I'd made a new friend and was leaving a city I had fallen in love with. If and when we get to go back, I'll be asking Daniel to take us to more sites and share more of his favorite places with us. I can't adequately express how much his time and dedication to our trip meant to me. Absolutely wonderful tour guide.
