Things To Do
Guatapé
Explore the colorful streets of Guatapé and climb the 740 steps of Piedra del Peñol for panoramic views of the lake-dotted landscape. A day tour to Guatapé and El Peñol from Medellín typically includes transportation, breakfast, a boat ride on the Guatapé reservoir, and a visit to Guatapé's famous colorful, zócalo-decorated houses. Many tours also include lunch and can be booked as group or private options. We booked a group tour through Airbnb but Viator is another great option. This was one of our most memorable days on our Medellin trip, it's a must-do!
Tour Comuna 13
Comuna 13 is a neighborhood that has transformed from one of the world's most dangerous areas to a vibrant, tourist-friendly district known for its art, culture, and community projects like outdoor escalators. The neighborhood is renowned for its colorful street art and graffiti, which tells the story of the area's past and its journey to peace and revitalization. If you'd like to learn more about Medellin's history and celebrate the local art scene, we highly recommend this half-day tour. We booked a group tour through Airbnb Experiences that included local snacks and beer, but Viator also has some great options.
