Create an itinerary including Piedra Del Penol

Hulking over Laguna de Guatape like a mammoth, Piedra Del Penol offers incredible views and a cultural experience rolled into one. The massive, free-standing rock formed millions of years ago makes such a dramatic impact on the scenery that it was worshipped as a god by the indigenous communities. Climb 200 m (656 ft) up the dizzying spiral staircase carved into the back of the rock to enjoy what some Colombians describe as "the best view in the world." Remember your visit with a souvenir, sold by the stalls on top of the rock. PutPiedra Del Penol into our Guatape road trip website and find out what's close by, where to stay, and where to head next.

Staying overnight in the fresh and colourful tourist town of Guatapé is a reward in itself after noisy, bustling Medellin. Climbing 700+ steps (which are unforgivingly steep at first!) is an effort..... more

Nice view, would recommend going after 2pm during weekdays, wasn’t crowded at all when we got up! Nice views, sun was out. In the morning there was some rain and much clouds. And between 11 and 1 lots of tourbusses come i guess.

Lovely nature with the lakes around and the climb to the top of the mountain is around 750 steps. The view is absolutely amazing from there. You could just take an uber from medelin which costs around 120K COP for a car or the piblic bus which is 25K per person.
