Itinerary
After picking you up we start heading east of the state. 40 minutes later we arrive into the ATV site, where our team is expecting us with the quadbikes and equipment ready for us. This ride with beautiful scenery and great ATVs will be the best start to this amazing day. The ride lasts 1.5 hours, enough to appreciate the outstanding scenery as well as having a quick adrenaline-rush. First of all, we give you all the instructions on how to properly ride ATVs so we can make it the safest way. Then we provide you with the equipment: A helmet and body protection. Depending on your skills we choose routes that suit better your expectations and experience. After everything is set we're ready to start our ATV tour. We always provide two guides, one in the front to lead and the other in the back following. During the ride there are sections where we can speed up and where we need our skills to go through some natural obstacles. Adrenaline, nature and great pics is all this about.
The drive from the fruits to the rock is around 35 minutes but is full of beautiful sceneries of kale plantations, onion, sugar cane, coffee, tomatoes and hundreds of mountains silhouettes. As we drive we start telling you all the history of the rock: components, owners, when was it climbed up and more interesting facts. Once we get there you get the chance to climb up it. It’s 749 steps and 50 minutes approximately to go up and down. Once you reach the top, you can stay up there for as long as you wish as you witness one of the most beautiful views you have ever seen. This is not only our opinion but that of thousands of tourists we have taken there. At the top there are several shops where you can buy water, beer and many other items and sit down to appreciate the view of the lake, tiny islands and country houses. Whenever you feel ready to start going down we'll be ready waiting for you to continue our adventure to one of the most colorful towns in the country: Guatape town.
The drive to Guatape from the rock is only 10 to 15 minutes. At this town we take a fully narrated walking tour through the town's landmarks such as the church, main square, remembrance street, Zocalos Square and more. Once the walking tour has concluded we take you to the best restaurant in town to have a traditional delicious lunch (not included in the tour) where you have more than 20 different options to try the local cuisine accompanied of a cold sangria or a craft beer. After we finish our lunch and walking tour in this beautiful Guatape town we head back to Medellin in our comfortable private car.

Sebas (our guide) was absolutely incredible! We had a phenomenal time going up the piedra, ATVs, and visiting the Guatape town. Everything went super smoothly.
This activity was so much fun, and our tour guide Erika was the best tour guide we’ve ever had. She was SO accommodating!!
We had the best day on this tour. Laura took us around the key sites and was really knowledgeable. The quad biking was so much fun.
Our tour guide was amazing and everything was organized flawlessly. We got to Guatapé early to beat the crowd and the atvs were phenomenal!
We started our tour with our wonderful, caring, and patient tour guide, Alejo. He always looked after all of us and we’re a family of 7. Alejo spoke English very well and was always respectful and knowledgeable. Our tour consisted of a stop to taste exotic fruits, that he patiently cut up and explained to us, including their names, region they’re from, and differences between the Colombian version of the fruit and the general one we always see in the market. After, we went to El Peñol where he went with the rest of the family to the top. I couldn’t complete the climb as I started to have knee pain, but Alejo was so kind to keep me company and make sure I was okay with going down, before climbing back up again by himself. To finalize our tour we rode ATVs through the mountains which was awesome 😜. Despite a packed day, our tour with Alejo never felt rushed. Excellent Job Alejo !! On behalf of my family we thank you for making our trip to Guatape unforgettable. Keep up the good work! 👏
Great combination. Highly recommend. The team were brilliant and we felt so looked after and they explained everything. Would do again.
Highlight of our trip, our tour guide Juan was very knowledgeable of the area and all of the best places to go. He was friendly and patient and made the trip a blast for the whole family
Sarah was our guide she is super funny and knowledgeable and spoke great English. We learned a lot and had a lot of fun. If it was for Sarah it wouldn't be as fun. Sarah is the best in the business it felt like she was the major of guatape everyone knew her. 5 stars
Did this tour with Andres as our tour guide and had a great experience. We comfortably fit 5 people in the car, ATVs were fun as well as exploring the city of Guatapé. We asked to get coffee on the way and Andres took us to a local coffee spot that was amazing. All in all a great tour that I will recommend to my friends who visit
Andres is the best! Had a great time with the ATVs and the landscape was beautiful. Guatapé was a great little town to visit and walk around before sunset. The rock was fun to experience climbing up with a great view. Thanks again Andres!
