Highlights
  • Parque de Marinilla - Colombia is the most diverse country in the world in fruit production as we grow over 430 fruits throughout our territory.

This is why we think we should take you to a fruit stand to try some of the most delicious ones.

In this short stop, we are going to visit a farmers’ market so you can be in a non-touristy place. Once there we provide you different exotic fruits you probably didn’t even know existed, with intense sour or sweet flavors.

This is around a 20 minutes stop that is on the way to Guatape but our guests have loved it so far, so we are sure you are going to love it too.

It is also a good opportunity to stretch your legs after 1 hour of sitting in the car before we reach the replica town, our next stop.

Additional Information

After retrieving you from your location in our private transportation, we proceed towards the east, venturing into the region of Guatape.

The initial stop of this Guatape journey allows you to sample a variety of unusual fruits, possessing flavors ranging from tart to sweet.

The next destination brings us to a replica of a submerged town; here, you’ll gain an insight into the lifestyles of the original drowned town inhabitants. The history of the town is narrated by your guide, accompanied with visual aids that show its past condition.

On departing from this model, we make our way to the colossal Guatape Rock or Piedra del Peñol where you are given the opportunity to ascend it. Upon reaching the summit, you may linger and revel in one of the most breathtaking vistas you’ve ever laid eyes on.

Lastly, we make our way to Guatape: The City of Zocalos. It’s one of Colombia’s most vibrant and picture-perfect towns. Wondering about the origins of the Zocalo custom and its purpose? Join us on this tour to discover! Make your booking now!!

Best experience of our trip! - Sara was absolutely incredible! She was so enthusiastic and an incredible source of information not only on our destination, but cultural and social aspects of Colombia. She epitomizes Colombia and the people. Warm, friendly and enthusiastic. We will be back to Colombia and will definitely do another tour with Sara!

Fantastic Guatapé & Flower Farm tour with Erika - We had a fantastic tour of Guatapé & a Flower Farm with Erika from Medellin Day Tours. This was the second tour in a year that Erika has taken us on. Erika translated the presentation at the flower farm into English to ensure we understood the process that goes into creating a sillatero. The next stop was the Piedra in Guatapé. Since we were traveling with my 80+ year old mom and best friend and knowing that they couldn’t climb the Piedra, Erika arranged for a helicopter ride so they wouldn’t miss out on seeing it and enjoying the spectacular views. Erika also recommended a fantastic place for lunch. The food, the ambiance, and the views were so amazing we can’t wait to go back. It was another glorious day with Erika!

Guatape tour with Erika - We had Erika for our tour guide to Guatape. This was actually our second tour to guatape but since we were with a friend for the first time, we decided to take it a second time. Erika was more knowledgeable and gave us additional information than the last time we went to guatape with a different tour company. We had an excellent time and really enjoyed a fancy lunch at a resort in the guatape area. Highly recommend the tour and highly recommend Erika as the tour guide. We learned that next time we might just need to stay in guatape for a few days :)

Great experience for all - We did this tour with our 3 month old baby, my boyfriend and I. Laura was our tour guide for the day and she was amazing! She was patient when we had to make some stops for the baby. She was fun and knowledgeable. We had a great time on the tour.

Excellent private tour from Medellin to beautiful Guatape - This was such a lovely trip that I did with my Fiance. Our guide was Daniel. He picked us up from our hotel in El Poblado and was a wonderful host. Throughout all of our stops (Fruit stand in Penol, Piedra de Penol, and Guatape), we felt like we were given a very personalized experience. We also learned a lot about the different places from our knowledgeable guide. Also, the drive was very comfortable. The landscape around Guatape is gorgeous and the town is very charming, still preserving many of its history. The climb to the top of the Piedra de Penol was tough, but its short, and the view from the top is very worth it. We took plenty of breaks on the way up and it wasn't an issue.

Best way to see Medellin & Guatape - Highlight of the trip. Erika, the tour guide was brilliant and we could not fault her. We had the full authentic experience accompanied by the historical backgrounds of each area. She helped every step of the way and we felt so at ease making out way through the deep history of Colombia. Highly recommend. 10/10
