Home / Medellin / Guatape Private Day Trip
Two hours from Medellin lies one of Colombia's most photographed places: the 740-step Piedra del Peñol and the lake town of Guatape. Done publicly, it's a crowded bus tour. Done the CLS way, it's a private SUV with your own guide, a reserved boat waiting on the water, and lunch at a lakeside table nobody walks past.
You set the pace — sunrise departure to beat the crowds at the rock, or a slow morning with a long lake afternoon. Either way, you never wait in a line that matters.
