Piedra Del Penol

The drive from the paragliding to the rock is around 1 hour but is full of beautiful sceneries of kale plantations, onion, sugar cane, coffee, and dozens of mountains silhouettes. As we drive we start telling you all the history of the rock: components, owners, when it was climbed and more interesting facts about this mysterious monolith. Once we get there you get the chance to climb it up. 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

    T his tour was honestly one of the highlights of my entire trip to Colombia. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organised, seamless, and so much fun – and that’s all down to our incredible guide, Erika. Erika was absolutely fantastic. Her attention to detail was next-level – she made sure every part of the day ran smoothly while also tailoring the experience to exactly what we wanted. She genuinely cared about making the day special for us, constantly checking in, adjusting the pace, and making sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. The paragliding experience was AMAZING – such a thrill and the views were unreal. It felt completely safe and well organised, and Erika made sure everything was coordinated perfectly so we could just relax and enjoy it. Guatapé and El Peñol were equally stunning – the views from the top are worth every step, and the town itself is so colourful and charming. Erika added so much value here too, sharing insights, helping with photos, and making sure we got the best out of every stop. What really stood out was Erika’s energy – she made the whole day fun, relaxed, and memorable. It felt less like a tour and more like exploring with a friend who knows all the best spots. If you’re thinking of booking this tour – do it. And if you can request Erika, absolutely do. She made an already incredible experience completely unforgettable

    Erika was an outstanding guide—the best we had on our trip. She is exceptionally kind, engaging, and deeply knowledgeable. Her understanding of Colombian history goes far beyond Guatapé and El Peñón, which added real depth to the experience. Although only one person in our group was ultimately able to paraglide, Erika went above and beyond to try to make it work for everyone. Her effort, enthusiasm, and passion truly elevated the tour. Highly recommended, especially if you have the chance to go with Erika.

  • Above and beyond!

    I had such a wonderful time: still looking at all my pictures from this day. Yuly picked me up from my hotel and was an incredible host, I feel like we became good friends by the end. Her English was great (my Spanish is ok but it was so nice to have deep insight on this area in my own language) I went paragliding and the day was beautiful weather: very professional and friendly people! We explored Guatape and I climbed El Peñol which was also lovely. Lunch was amazing traditional fare at El Fogota Overall stellar experience. I couldn’t not say more good things about this tour group and my guide. Thank you all again!
