Guatapé is a town and municipality in the Department of Antioquia, Colombia. It is a part of the subregion of Eastern Antioquia and is located 79 kilometres (49 mi) from Medellín, the capital of the department. Guatapé is bordered on the north by Alejandría, San Rafael to the east, and Granada and El Peñol to the south. This town is the gathering place for Las Vegas, referring to the small farms of the area.

As you approach the town, you'll immediately be struck by the vibrant colors that adorn every building in sight. The streets are lined with brightly painted houses and shops, each one more unique than the last. It's no wonder that Guatapé is often referred to as "the most colorful town in Colombia."

But Guatapé isn't just a pretty face - the town is also home to one of Colombia's most iconic landmarks, the El Peñol Rock. Climbing the 740 steps to the top of the rock is a must-do activity when visiting Guatapé, as the views from the summit are absolutely breathtaking.
