14 Things to Do (and 1 Not to Do) in Medellin (Updated 2025)
"A granite monolith near the colorful lakeside pueblo of Guatapé, El Peñol has over 700 concrete stairs carved into its side that you can climb for breathtaking 360-degree views; Guatapé is a popular two-hour (or longer) day trip from Medellín, and tours that include Guatapé, El Peñol, lunch, and a boat cruise typically run around 122,000 COP — I recommend spending at least one night there if you can so you're not rushed." - Matthew Kepnes
