Medellín Day Trip Guide: Exploring Guatapé & El Peñol Rock

🚗 Transportation Options 1️⃣ By Car 1.5-hour drive from Medellín (eastbound). 2️⃣ By Bus Depart from Medellín's North Bus Terminal (~2+ hours). Ticket: 20K COP/person (Platform 14, Gate 20). Note: These are local minibuses that stop frequently—arrive early for seats! 3️⃣ Tour Groups Hotels offer day trips (depart ~7 AM). 🏨 Where to Stay The Brown Hotel (Marriott affiliate) Scenic views but mediocre service. Ask the bus driver to drop you at the hotel entrance (short walk required). Alternative: Stay in Guatapé town for colorful streets. 🎯 Key Tips for Visiting 1️⃣ El Peñol Rock Entry fee: 25K COP (closing time varies, often ~4 PM). Climb: 600+ steps (one-way up, separate path down). View: Stunning "Thousand Islands" lake panorama. 2️⃣ Getting Around Guatapé Tuk-tuks (local "taxis") or Didi rideshare. 3️⃣ Sunset Spot Lakeside restaurants (~100K COP for two)—great food, but clouds may obscure views. 4️⃣ Pro Travel Hack Medellín’s airport is between the city and Guatapé. If with friends: Split a direct taxi from Guatapé to the airport (~100K COP, saves time!). ⏳ Suggested Itinerary Day Trip: Enough for the rock + town stroll. Overnight: More relaxed (ideal for photography). #Medellin #ColombiaTravel
