Read moreToday I had the privilege to climb to the top of the Guatape Rock for epic breathtaking views!!
I got dropped off at the bottom of the hill which gives a nice warmup for when you get to the actual rock.
Take your time there are over 700 steps from here! Can easily be done in 20 minutes add a little bit if you take lots of breaks.
The high elevation makes it tough but bearable to breath and will make you regret all those empanadas, arepas and baked goods you've been enjoying lately. What a great workout!
The cost was 25000 Pesos. Arrive around 8am during the week. Too busy to enjoy. If possible to beat the crowds and buses that show up. There will hardly be anyone there and you can take amazing pictures ❤️ AVOID THE WEEKEND at all costs. It will be busy
.What a great experience. After grab a coffee or food and chill on an overhanging patio to enjoy the views some more.
I could not imagine how hard it was to build the stairs right into the rock with concrete. Incredible! Please enjoy this wonderful experience 😀

Read moreThis is a spectacular attraction about a 2 hour drive from Medellin that offers breathtaking views of the surrounding Colombian landscape. The admission fee to climb to the top of the rock was 25,000 pesos. The climb itself is moderately difficult owing to the many steps and higher altitude of the region (about 2000 meters above sea level) but one can take breaks at intervals to make it more comfortable. At the base of the rock are many establishments geared towards tourists like souvenir shops and restaurants. This attraction is definitely worth a visit because of the picturesque views of the beautiful Colombian countryside from the top...
