Colombia is well known for El Peñol in Guatape; the giant rock that dominates a gorgeous lake district near Medellin. It is possible to climb this big rock in Colombia by hiking up more than 700 stairs built into the side of El Peñol. If you are looking for easy day tours from Medellin, going to Guatape is the best one! In this Guatape, Colombia vlog we show you how to get to this nearby tourist attraction from Medellin, give you a look at what it's like to climb El Peñol, and take you around the quaint town of Guatape complete with a tour of the umbrella street and beautiful lakeside wharf. We also try some delicious Colombian food and coffee!

The giant rock in Guatape goes by many names, including El Peñol, Piedra del Peñol, El Peñol de Guatape, and just La Piedra. No matter what you call it, this huge stone is truly magnificent. It looks as though it shouldn't be real, but it is a natural structure that is as impressive as it is huge! The giant rock's beauty has created a tourist attraction in Guatape and the town responded by making the area a beautiful place for foreigners to visit in Colombia! The drone footage of Guatape and El Peñol is truly remarkable - this is such a neat attraction to see from the sky!

What is so great about visiting El Peñol in Guatape is that it is such an easy day trip from Medellin, making it one of the best places to see in Colombia! If you are wondering what to do in Medellin, a day trip to Guatape is a great addition to your itinerary.
