Route descriptions often refer only to the first listing shown. Amenities and services vary by provider — please review individual listings before booking.
Travel from Guatape to the colorful lakeside town of Medellin and the iconic El Penol Rock. The scenic 2 to 2.5 hour drive takes you through the green mountains east of the Aburra Valley.
The route climbs out of Guatape's valley, passing through small mountain towns before arriving at the stunning reservoir region around Medellin. Having a shuttle lets you enjoy the winding mountain roads without the stress of driving, and your driver can drop you at El Penol Rock or in Medellin town.
Medellin is famous for two things: the towering El Penol Rock (740 stairs to the top for panoramic views of the reservoir), and the town's incredibly colorful zocalos — hand-painted bas-relief panels decorating every building. It's one of Colombia's most photogenic towns and Guatape's most popular day-trip destination.
