El Peñón de Guatapé

El Peñón de Guatapé is a monumental rock monolith rising 220 meters above Colombia's picturesque landscape. Once revered by the indigenous Tahamí group, this granite formation offers an unforgettable experience for nature and outdoor enthusiasts.

Climbing the 650-foot staircase rewards you with panoramic 360° views of Lake Peñol-Guatapé and surrounding towns. Characteristic cracks and fissures on the rock's surface testify to the intense geological processes that shaped it.

The area is stunning with colorful houses with traditional decorations and water sports opportunities on the lagoon.
