What To Expect
Penol
The rock of Guatapé (or Peñón de Guatapé, in Spanish) is a true hidden gem within Colombia, located two hours away from Medellín. With a height of 656 feet above its base, this huge black granite formation guarantees a spectacular view from its summit, reachable by climbing 740 steps (so make sure you bring comfortable shoes!). Once at the top you’ll be able to breathe in the fresh air and contemplate the turquoise waters of Guatapé dam and its curvy shores while you get a deserved rest in the seating area. You will also find handicrafts, postcards, and other local goods to bring back home.

Medellin was unforgettable with the Wingman!

5.00Carlos made our trip to Medellin unforgettable!! He had tons of great knowledge of the area and made the entire journey a lot of fun, even when we were just driving between destinations. This tour feels more like you’re hanging out with a local friend than being bused around stop by stop. I would highly recommend to anyone, especially those from the United States, to book a tour with Carlos. We booked the Guatape tour with waterfalls and ended up spending another day with Carlos because we had such a great time. We ate very well, we saw amazingly beautiful sights, and we made some lasting memories on this tour. If you have any doubts about which tour to take while you’re in Medellin, this is the one!

5.00The tour is highly recommended, you learn a lot about Pablo Escobar! Carlos knows a lot of little food spots that are very good. Admission to the rock is 30,000 COP, the also recommended 1-hour boat tour 60,000 COP.
Great guatape trip!

5.00This trip was amazing! As someone who has gone to guatape before, it was really nice to see both the touristic spots and also spots off the beaten path. Carlos was a great guide and we enjoyed getting to know him and his love for beautiful Colombia. If you’re looking for a unique guatape experience, book this!

5.00We spent 2 days with Carlos exploring Medellin and nearby towns. We enjoyed the walk thru Comuna 13, metro-cable ride, etc on the first dsy. Carlos shared a lot of stories, some related to historic events, some to everyfay life in Colombia. Each of the days we stopped at a place for lunch and tried local cuisine. Carlos was on time and we had good communication beforehand via WhatsApp. In Guatape we climbed the rock and walked thru colorful towns. Unfortunately we did not get to see the waterfalls that were listed in the tour description - i guess we ran out of time. Otherwise, it was a pleasant tour.
Best host in the world

5.00Don’t hesitate to book Carlos. He was raised in Medellin, moved to the U.S, and now resides there again. His perspective therefore is really valuable to understand the history of this fascinating city. We were travelling with our grandson, whom Carlos was great with. He was flexible to suggest tours that would interest us, as he is independant, and doesn’t need to prescribe to any set program.
