Day Tour From Medellin To Guatape, The Resort Town Of Stones & Water
Despite the numerous activities available at the Colombian metropolis of Medellin, an important site not to be missed when one is in the Antioquia department (northwest Colombia, lying mostly within the Andes mountains) is Guatape. Known for its colourful town and spectacular views of the reservoir atop a monolith named La Piedra del Peñol or La Piedra (literally translated as The Stone), the pretty lakeside town of Guatape has some interesting sights and stories to share. Aptly named, the word ‘Guatape’ is associated with stones and water, but more than the captivating sights, one will be intrigued to find out how the village was flooded to become an essential water source and increasingly popular tourist destination. To visit Guatape, one can easily make your own way BUT if you want to get the most out of your trip and dinero (‘money’ in Spanish language), join one of the popular Guatape day tours from Medellin like I did!
