5 experiencesGuatapé & El PeñolBooked direct with local operators

Experiences are the slower side of Guatapé, run by the local team and the families who host them: birdwatching with a local guide in an area of around 400 bird species, an empanadas cooking class, a brunch or a picnic by the water, a barbecue on a houseboat, a night of digital detox on the lake, and the Serenity catamaran for groups. Each page says what is included, how long it lasts, how to get there and the price for your group.
