El Peñón de Guatapé: A View to Remember

First things first – you can't visit Guatapé without conquering El Peñón. This massive rock formation is the star of the show, and trust me, the view from the top is worth every step (all 740 of them!). As you huff and puff your way up, you'll be cheered on by fellow climbers and our enthusiastic guides. Once you reach the summit, prepare to have your breath taken away – and not just from the climb! The panoramic view of the surrounding lakes and islands is simply stunning. Don't forget to treat yourself to a well-deserved beer or ice cream at the top. You've earned it!

Explore the Colorful Streets of Guatapé Town

After your rock-climbing adventure, it's time to wander through the picturesque streets of Guatapé town. This place is an Instagrammer's dream come true! Every building is adorned with vibrant zócalos – colorful bas-reliefs depicting scenes from daily life, nature, and local history. Our guides will share fascinating stories behind these unique artworks as we stroll through the town. Don't be surprised if you find yourself stopping every few steps to snap another photo – it's practically impossible not to!

Lake Guatapé: A Watery Wonderland

Ready to cool off? Let's head to Lake Guatapé, also known as Embalse Peñol-Guatapé. This man-made reservoir is a playground for water enthusiasts. With Foxiepass, you can:

• Take a leisurely boat tour around the lake's islands
• Try your hand at jet-skiing or kayaking
• Go for a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear waters
• Enjoy a lakeside picnic with breathtaking views

Our personal favorite? The sunset boat tour. There's something magical about watching the sky turn shades of pink and orange as you glide across the calm waters. It's the perfect way to end a day of exploration.

La Manuela: Pablo Escobar's Former Hideaway

For those interested in recent Colombian history, we offer a tour to La Manuela, the bombed-out remains of Pablo Escobar's lakeside mansion. While it's a sobering reminder of Colombia's turbulent past, it's also a testament to how far the country has come. Our guides provide thoughtful, balanced insights into this complex period of history.

Taste the Flavors of Guatapé

No trip is complete without sampling the local cuisine! Our food tours will introduce you to mouthwatering Colombian dishes. From hearty bandeja paisa to fresh trout from the lake, your taste buds are in for a treat. And let's not forget about the coffee – this is Colombia, after all! We'll take you to charming cafes where you can sip on some of the best coffee you've ever tasted.
