Medellin to Guatape Shuttle

Travel from Medellin to the colorful lakeside town of Guatape and the iconic El Penol Rock. The scenic 2 to 2.5 hour drive takes you through the green mountains east of the Aburra Valley.

What to Expect

The route climbs out of Medellin's valley, passing through small mountain towns before arriving at the stunning reservoir region around Guatape. Having a shuttle lets you enjoy the winding mountain roads without the stress of driving, and your driver can drop you at El Penol Rock or in Guatape town.

About Guatape

Guatape is famous for two things: the towering El Penol Rock (740 stairs to the top for panoramic views of the reservoir), and the town's incredibly colorful zocalos — hand-painted bas-relief panels decorating every building. It's one of Colombia's most photogenic towns and Medellin's most popular day-trip destination.
