Customizable Guatapé and El Peñol Tour from Medellin

About this activity

This tour can be adjusted according to your interests.

Enjoy the exuberance of the Stone of the Peñol, a boat tour of the dam and the traditional charm of one of the most colorful towns in Latin America. You have the option of adding a quad bike tour inside Pablo Escobar’s mansion, adding an hour of jetskiing, or both. If you do not wish to carry out these activities, then we will follow the basic itinerary.

If you take a jetski option, this activity will replace the boat ride at the dam.

This is a private tour in which you choose the start time and includes pick-up directly from your place of stay, whether hotel or not.

The tour starts in Medellin and returns to the city the same day.
