HIGHLIGHTS:

This tour is perfect for those smart travelers who wish to take advantage of a few hours stop at Medellin´s International airport Jose Maria Cordova and explore the beautiful country side. Does not matter if you have just a quick stop, our personalized tours will perfectly fit your needs allowing you to make the best use of your limited time while in Medellin. Being 45 minutes away from Medellin city and halfway to the incredible Peñol rock, the country side near the International airport is a perfect excuse to get out and discover the beauty of the area as you climb one of the top ten wildest stairways on earth. Tour starts upon your arrival at Medellin´s International airport Jose Maria Cordova (JMC), where your private guide will hold a sign with your name outside of baggage claim. Just make sure and provide your full names and exact flight info.

Once your bilingual private guide has met you, tour embarks on a personalized journey by car (with AC), on a fully narrated tour to Guatapé and El Peñol village. Tour is estimated to last 6 hours and stops can be made at your convenience plus start time is flexible as per your itinerary.

As you walk out of Medellin´s International airport, get ready to explore the soothing sceneries on the way to the first stop at the cozy replica of El Peñol village, where the old town can be observed in the middle of the human made dam. There is enough free time to walk around tranquilly and take the best postcard photos, and there are bathrooms and cafeterias so we recommend bringing Colombian pesos since not every store takes cash.

Moving right along, tour drives you to the massive Peñol rock, a volcanic eruption that provides the most spectacular panoramic views of the beautiful country side. Climb the 700 steps to reach the top, views only get better.

Finally, at picturesque Guatapé village you will discover a colorful town with warm residents and impressive architecture. Absorb the local atmosphere and get some souvenirs as you are guided around the magnificent square and boardwalk.

Finally, tour takes you to one of the most popular local venues for a courtesy lunch before heading back to the airport.
