Great way to explore and learn about the history and the people of Guatapé We really enjoyed our tour and learning about the history and the people of the town. We enjoyed the pictures our tour guide shared with us to see the before and after of the town. The pace of the tour was great for us and communication booking the tour was easy. Don’t miss out on this tour it’s a great way to honor the history of the town and truly learn from a local.

I appreciate being able to support a woman entrepreneur, and we had some great conversations together about Colombia's challenges, as she is a campaigner for sustainable tourism. She picked us up at the hotel and we went to a small family's coffee finca. We learned a lot. 240,000 for my boyfriend and me ($84 cad for the 2 of us). It's better to speak directly with the guide on Watsapp to know the prices than on the website.

We really enjoyed our private hiking tour to the highest point of Guatape! Our guide was knowledgeable and the hike was a beautiful addition to our stay. The trail has no tourists so it was a welcome distraction from the busy town. About 10 km for the entire hike from town and wear sturdy shoes! Safe, fun, scenic and great exercise!
