Discover a unique place, from where you will be able to watch a marvelous 360° view of Medellín’s surrounding area. Through this tour we will know La Piedra de Guatapé, also known as El Peñol or La Piedra (the stone). This imposing giant ancient rock, visible far from the distance, is a 10 million-ton monolith more than 200 m (650 ft.) height located close to the border of Guatapé and El Peñol and its only one crack, from top to bottom, was used to build a masonry staircase to make possible to climb it to enjoy the stunning view this special place offers to us.
