About Guatapé
Guatapé is known for its painted zocalos—the bases of buildings painted in intricate, colorful designs. The town sits on a reservoir created by a dam, offering water views. The main attraction is El Peñol rock, a massive monolith rising 220 meters where 740 steps lead to panoramic views.
