How safe is Guatapé for female travelers?

Solo travel

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.
