Guatape

Think Guatapé is just a quick photo op and a rock climb? Think WAY bigger. This isn't just Colombia's most colorful town; it's your launchpad into Antioquia's stunning water-world, packed with enough adventure to ditch that return bus ticket.

This is where fantasy landscapes meet real adventure.
