Located in the northwest of South America, Colombia is a mesmerizing blend of vibrant culture, architectural grandeur, immense biodiversity, and striking landscapes. Known for its vast coffee plantations that produce some of the finest brews in the world, it also presents a rich cultural tapestry of music and dance, particularly Salsa. Colombian emerald mines, believed to produce the highest quality gems in the world, add a sparkling allure to its reputation. Its history echoes through colonial structures, intriguing archaeological sites as the Lost City of Teyuna, and pre-Hispanic cultures evident in the Gold Museum. For nature lovers, the Amazon rainforest, pristine beaches of Cartagena, snow-capped Andean peaks, and the unique flora and fauna promise an unforgettable encounter with Mother Nature.

Nestled in the province of Antioquia, Colombia, Guatapé is renowned for its vibrant, candy-colored houses adorned with Zócalos, which are striking, sculpted boards on the lower parts of the buildings. Only two hours from Medellín, this charming Andean resort town offers a cornucopia of activities for visitors. Guatapé is famous for La Piedra Del Peñol, a gigantic granite monolith where you can climb 649 steps to relish panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and lakes. The town is also known for the idyllic Guatapé reservoir, ideal for boating excursions, and its cobblestone streets lined with shops selling unique artisanal goods.

Guatapé

I booked a one-day trip to Guatape and it was fantastic. I climbed up the rock (El Peñon) which offers an amazing view. Then we went for a boat ride, had a Colombian lunch, and then we had a guided tour around Guatape. I felt very safe. There are many great shops and food places. I highly recommend visiting Guatape.
