Guatapé — a small, colorful town 50 miles west of Medellín — is a popular day trip destination for those seeking a slower pace.

The town is famous for its bright facades (known as zócalos) painted on the sides of homes and storefronts, but, most of all, for El Peñón de Guatapé — a 650-foot rock that towers above everything else. A brick staircase with 740 steps is embedded into a large crack that runs the height of the rock, transporting climbers in a zigzag fashion all the way to the peak. On average, the climb to the summit takes about 30 minutes. But those efforts will certainly pay off — at the top, you'll be rewarded with panoramic views of the expansive lake system and rolling emerald hills surrounding Guatapé.
