I loved climbing the rock, taking great pictures up there and on the way, enjoying the view. I was enchanted with the colorful town, strolling the streets, taking lots of pictures. The only negative is the noise. You can't get away from it at night, even in hotels further from town.
Colorful, charming town. Friendly people. Unique adventure to climb El Peñol de Guatape. Not destroyed or yet completely compromised by foreign tourism yet. However on that note, come prepared as lack of infrastructure accompanies. Two ATMs in town. One locked. One out of money from Friday to Monday afternoon. Few places take credit cards. No money exchange, not even in bank. Bus available to a larger town with one bank with similar problems. No returning bus if insufficient number of passengers. Jeep ride available once 8 passengers are found.
It's a beautiful place, very relaxing small town. Great food and great prices. The reservuar is awesome. I recommend the boat ride where they show Pablo Escobar properties and other famous people. The Peñal rock is one you will need a day, prepare to walk up steps. But the view from the top is breathtaking !
Guatape is a beautiful little town located at 78 kilometers from medellin. This town is full of nice people, good food, art and craft ornaments. The most beautiful views and perfect weather, it is a nice place to visit.
This charming town is totally understated by Lonely Planet - we could have spent days in this immaculate, brightly colored place with its fresco-like buildings adorned with bas-relief depictions along the bottoms. Along with climbing the 659 step high rock (Piedra del Penol) for some exercise and stunning views of the islands surrounded by emerald green floodwaters, you can take a boat ride for a closer look at the homes of the rich that populate them. The boats line the promenade with touters offering you theirs. If you crave some light adrenaline there is a zip line conveniently located along the promenade. Free wifi is available for anyone, in one corner of the main square. The town fills up with bus loads of tourists between noon-4pm but outside those times there are great photo ops of unobstructed streets and fairytale buildings.
Very beautiful town. All painted up colourfully. Many restaurants and activities such as climbing the rock (a must) and taking a cruise around the lake on a boat to see some interesting sights such as the cross in the water marking the church of a submerged town and one of Pablo Escobars destroyed mansions. We don't speak Spanish and couldn't really communicate with the driver but he did ask us for more money when in the middle of the lake... I think this was to take us further but the whole language barrier kind of make it feel a bit sketchy. In the end we paid a total of 50,000 cop which isn't to bad really. Tons of random dogs running around... All seemed friendly but we try to be careful around unknown animals. One followed us around quite a bit. Another was annoying us during dinner. Really not sure how many of these dogs had owners but most didn't appear to be too scraggly. I must mention that we witnessed someone get stabbed at the bus station. I believe this was something out of the ordinary for this place. police were on the scene within a minute. Most people who were around at the time pelted the perpetrator with rocks as he ran away. I hope the victim is okay - he was the man who loaded our bags on the bus not 10 mins earlier. I still would recommend this town to anyone interested in visiting Colombia.
“The location is in the heart of Guatape. The staff is excellent; especially Kevin and Andres; they go above and beyond. The love the guests and are just nice folks. Wifi works great. Beds are very comfortable and bathroom fairly clean. Spacious, with many places in the hostel to chill. There is a kitchen for cooking and refrigerator to store stuff. Overall, a good stay. ”
“You'll be so lucky to find another host as kind and caring as Elliana. She has put much TLC into this cute and charming hostel. It is an easy 10-15 minute walk from the center of Guatapé, and you can walk to and from day and night. We considered staying further out of town, but it was so convenient to be this close to the action, yet far enough away that it is quiet and peaceful. The common areas, as well as the outdoor patio for breakfast were a delight. Muchas gracias, Elliana!”
“The views of the property are amazing. The cabins are clean and the staff was really friendly and helpful. Not everything was perfect but in general we had a good experience with the hotel and it's really good if you want to relax and disconnect from every day stuff (wifi from the cabins works sometimes).”
