Guatape

Nature, Color, and Adventure in One Scenic Package


Guatapé is the perfect blend of breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, and vibrant colors—just two hours from Medellín. Known for its kaleidoscopic streets and the iconic Piedra del Peñol, this lakeside town is one of Colombia’s most photogenic and memorable destinations. Travelers can climb the 740-step rock for panoramic views of emerald lakes and winding islands, take private boat rides, explore charming streets filled with zócalos (painted baseboards), and enjoy fresh Colombian cuisine by the waterfront.

Ideal for day trips, pre/post-Medellín incentives, or slow travel escapes, Guatapé offers nature, local connection, and visual wow-factor. VYVEM designs experiences from luxe lakeside lunches to private speedboat outings, all with seamless logistics and unforgettable flair.
