Guatape, Colombia

Category: Tourist Destinations

Review: Great Day Trip!

Description: Guatape is located approximately 90 minutes outside of Medellin and is becoming a recreational destination for many Colombians and foreign visitors. Half the fun of traveling to Guatape is driving through the Colombian countryside lined with beautiful rolling hills, small towns, farms and friendly people. Once you arrive in Guatape you will notice that the town borders a reservoir built for a hydroelectric dam. The lake covers thousands of acres and can be explored and enjoyed by renting a boat or taking one of the large party boats available on weekends.
