Guatape was the start of our trip and definitely did not disappoint. It’s a short distance from Medellin where we stopped for lunch.
Firstly there was the walk to the top of the large rock, the stairs weaved in and out of the rock and the views all around were of beautiful lakes and mountains.
We had a tour around the lakes which turned into a party boats of sorts – nothing to rival Ibiza’s legendary party boats but it played an array of Colombian music with the dreaded Gangnam Style thrown in too. The views were beautiful however the wind was so strong and the sun not staying out for long enough to warm us it was a cold journey!!
Just off the (small) port of Guatape was the most beautiful Colombian street I’d seen so far, full of vibrant colours, olden style lamp posts and lots of flower baskets it made for perfect pictures!
