    Living in a small town with a stunning mountain backdrop, Guatape makes me appreciate the virtue of a safe, tranquil and down to earth life. When you get out of the big city, you don’t really miss it much and this is a gorgeous place! The Go Pro pictures don’t do it justice. Its a perfect retirement spot for people wanting to live out their lives. Would been a shame had you ended your stay in Colombia with Medellin. In all honesty, this is the perfect coda to your trip there and Guatape is definitely a place you have to go to once in your lifetime. In my opinion, getting away from the typical tourist trap was worth it. Thanks for the memories and sharing with us the highlights of a beautiful country! Safe travels and be blessed.

    Sorry, Medellin, but it looks like you're going to have to make room at the top of my list of the best towns in Colombia 😁 It's funny that my first thought was - when I saw your stories from (Insta-)Guatape - that the spectacular views from that rock must largely compensate for the lack of opportunity to shoot from a drone like at Meteora 😍 And even though it was only a day trip, this is definitely one of my favorite videos in your Colombian series 👏🏻

    I visited la grande piedra back in 1974 with a friend. The staircase was much more simple and there was not a man-made lake below. An older woman had a shack at the top and sold rum and coke and souveniers. I still have the plastic viewer with a photo of the rock. I am glad you were able to see this yourself! Felicidades from Jon Sachs!

    Glad you made it to Guatapè. It is a beautiful place. I also went on a tour which is a great way to see it. Part of my tour was by boat on the lake where we saw the old center of the city of El Peñol with a cross sticking up in the water. We also saw several houses including Pablo Escobar’s burn out house. At the rock they did not have a no drone rule then so I was able to fly it. I made sure it was ok with the tour guide. He said yes and suggested I take it to the top of the rock and fly from there. Once up there I decided not to because of all the wiring up there so I flew it when I came back back down. While aligning the gyros I was surprised with the interference but eventually got everything aligned and flew it from the parking lot. It was great. Enjoy the rest of your trip.

    What a wonderful showing you experienced here, Alina! Really brought back some wonderful memories for me as I grew up living on the waterfront being a member of a professional water skiing team in my teen years. Such a wonderful town that was, so colorful and SAFE which is a great memory you created for a lot of people also. The music you chose is great, the people you were around said many things that I'm sure you also felt. Thanks so much for going there and sharing this with us. You hit the button for us, and yes I would love to go there for a trip down memory lane for me. Looking forward to another great video you always present to us, and glad you got to take us along. Keep smiling, and never forget what doors got closed for you there, there was a miracle that was superb to experience. Cheers!! 💗🏆👍

    Alina, this was very good choice. Harriet and I have been. We enjoyed climbing The Rock. Surrounding the lake there were so many places to just chill out. We did that as well as walk along Guatape Centre decorated with Zocalos. We spent a couple of days going back and forth from Medeliin. Great memories of the area. Thank you so much for taking us along😍😍 Be well. Stay Safe. Sending you lots of love💖💖 Jim and Harriet. Richmond, Va.

    I've been at Guatapé once, and it's a really nice place. I don't have any suggestions regarding Guatapé, just explore and enjoy, but, as other people have said in the comments, if you come back to Colombia I strongly suggest to visit little towns all around. For example, Ciénaga, which is between Santa Marta and Barranquilla, La Playa de Belén in Norte de Santander (with the amazing Estoraques), Salento and Cocora Valley, Barichara in Santander, Villa de Leyva and Ráquira in Boyacá, Honda in Tolima, or Guatavita (another flooded town, but much colder than El Peñol) and its lagoon, which are near Bogotá.
