Colombia Antioquia Guatapé
El Peñón de Guatapé
A massive granite rock in Colombia, known for its 650+ stairs leading to stunning views at the top, rivaling those of a local town's ownership.
Tips from the community
In short, it’s a giant rock with 650 stairs on it. But wait, there’s more. This mammoth-like monolith happens to be in the most idyllic location that a massive boulder could possibly be placed. Surrounding Guatapé is every lake vacation you’ve ever dreamed about wrapped into one, with a zesty Colombian twist. The top of El Peñón overlooks a swirly wonderland of lakes and greenery, a strong contender for the best view in the country. Honestly, I had a fabulous time taking in the views merely from ground level, but if you’re down to pay the entry fee of about $6 USD, it’s worth the climb.
