A private taxi from your hotel in Medellín to Guatapé and back the same day, with an hour on the lake in a private boat. One price for the day, less than booking both apart.

  • We had an excellent experience with Guatape Tours! We booked a sprinter van with them for 12 of us, which was super clean, very comfortable and with air conditioning, to go from Medellin to Guatape and back later that same day. Our driver Christian was wonderful. He was on time, knowledgeable about the area and activities and very friendly. He drove us to hike La Piedra del Penol and then recommended an excellent place for lunch afterwards which he took us too. Afterwards he dropped us off near the malecón to walk and tour the town. It was a great day trip and I appreciated Guatape Tours checking in with me throughout the day and even before to make sure that everything was going smoothly. I highly recommend booking any trip with them!

  • Used their car service from the airport to Guatape then Guatape to Medellin and everything was excellent. Communication was great as well as great drivers. I wanted to adjust the time of a ride after hotel granted late checkout and it was not a problem at all. Also found their prices to be more competitive than some others. Can’t recommend enough.

Frequently asked questions

How many people can come?

Up to 3 people: the taxi and the boat are just for your group, and the price is for all of you.

When is the boat ride?

We set the time with you when you book, once you know when you want to arrive in Guatapé.

Can we stay longer on the lake?

Yes. Tell us when you book and we add more time on the boat.

Is El Peñol Rock included?

Your driver takes you there in your free time. The entrance is not included: you can add El Peñol Rock tickets.

Where do you pick us up?

At your hotel or apartment in Medellín, and you come back the same day.

Which stops do you make on the way?

We recommend the Alto del Chocho viewpoint, the Old Peñol replica and, sometimes, the Upside-Down House before the Rock; then Guatapé town and the way back. They are optional: you stop if you want to, and any stop on the route is included, on the way there or back, the JMC airport too. The driver waits for you all day, fuel and tolls included; meals are not included.

What time is El Peñol Rock open?

Every day of the year, from 8am to 6pm. You can also stay for the sunset: the steps are lit and you can come down until it ends, around 6:30pm. Going up takes 20 to 25 minutes and coming down 10 to 15.

Until what time does the driver wait for us?

The service is up to 12 hours from the pickup: if we pick you up at 7am, the way back leaves Guatapé around 5pm.
