Hola, my friend! Have you ever been so caught up in a breathtaking sunset that you nearly forgot your own name? That’s exactly the magic Guatapé weaves. This colorful natural place in Antioquia is not just a photographer’s dream with its colorful zócalos, it’s where love sparks and flourishes, much like a lively salsa night with the fireworks of aguardiente.
One afternoon near the lake, I noticed a couple so lost in each other’s gaze, they didn’t even notice the crowd snapping photos around them. That got me thinking, “Where do these lovebirds rest their heads at night?” So, with my trusty backpack and a warm tintico in hand, I set out to find the top five romantic hotels in Guatapé where you and your partner can create unforgettable memories (and maybe some mischief too). Ready to dive in?

The town itself feels like a painter’s palette, with vividly colorful corners and streets each telling their own story.
Visitors from around the world come here, not just Colombians, drawn by the romantic energy and the stunning views of El Peñol, our awe-inspiring natural monolith that stands like a skyscraper in nature. And let’s not forget the shimmering lake, taking a boat ride at sunset here is a classic for a reason, pure magic.
