In our exciting Free Tour Zócalos, we want to take you on a fascinating journey through the cobblestone streets of this charming town, where each zócalo tells a unique story. Our main purpose is to immerse you in the essence and everyday stories of Guatapé, while you discover the magic hidden behind these colorful ceramic tales.

Our team of local guides will be delighted to share with you the stories and anecdotes that have shaped the identity of this town.

The starting point of our adventure is Guatapé’s main park, where we will welcome you in the main square, just in front of the church atrium. Our yellow shirts will make us easily recognizable. From there, you will delve into the historical charm of Guatapé, exploring the zócalos that adorn the facades of houses. Each zócalo is a small work of art, a window into the history and traditions of this picturesque town.

 

One of the highlights of our tour is Zea Street, where the history of the municipality intertwines with the fascinating family stories that have left their mark on this place. Walking along this street is like traveling back in time and immersing yourself in the lives of past generations.

 

Our Free Tour is a unique experience where you determine its value. At the end of the tour, you will have the freedom to individually and objectively assess the guide’s work and the experience you have had, deciding the payment you consider fair.
