Why book this tour

The boat ride is already included

A ride across the Guatapé reservoir comes with the tour price — it isn't an extra you have to pay for on the spot.

Breakfast and lunch included

You travel the whole day without worrying about where to eat — both main meals are in the price.

A guide for the whole day

A guide travels with the group from departure to the return to Medellín.

Guatapé and El Peñol in one trip

The bus covers Alto del Chocho, the town of Guatapé and the base of El Peñol rock in the same day.

About this tour

A group tour by tourist bus that leaves Medellín for eastern Antioquia to see, in a single day, Alto del Chocho, the town of El Peñol, El Peñol rock and the colorful streets of Guatapé. Breakfast, lunch and a boat ride across the reservoir are already included in the price.

It's a shared tour: you travel on the same bus as other travelers, with a professional guide along for the whole day. It isn't a private service — if that's what you're after, this site also lists a private Guatapé and El Peñol tour with an exclusive vehicle.

The bus gets the group to the main points of interest, but a few entrance tickets are paid separately at the door: Alto del Chocho or Parque Temático San José, Casa Al Revés, and climbing the steps of El Peñol rock. We'd rather say so upfront than bury it in fine print.
