Overview

What Makes This Tour Unique
This is not your typical day trip — it's a deeply personal experience hosted by Marco, the founder of Acua Experience and your private chef for the day.

You won’t be part of a group. You’ll explore Guatapé at your own pace, enjoy exclusive access to a private boat, and savor a gourmet Colombian tasting menu prepared just for you, right on the lake.

From the hidden spots only locals know to the flavors of Colombia reimagined with creativity and care, every detail is designed to make you feel like a special guest — not a tourist.

It’s the only experience in Guatapé that blends local culture, fine dining, lake exploration, and the warmth of a true host.

Experience Guatapé like never before — a full-day private culinary escape on the lake, guided by a personal chef and host.

Start your day with private round-trip transportation from Medellín or the airport in a comfortable SUV. Once in Guatapé, enjoy a guided walking tour through its colorful streets, iconic zócalos, Memory Street, and the charming Umbrella Street, with time for coffee and local sweets.

Then, board a private pontoon boat and enjoy a traditional Colombian cocktail, made with local fruits and a splash of aguardiente — the beginning of your culinary journey.

As we cruise through Guatapé’s stunning reservoir, you'll enjoy a gourmet Colombian tasting menu prepared live by your private chef. Each dish is crafted with regional ingredients and brings to life the rich flavors of Colombia. While lunch is being prepared, feel free to relax or explore the calm waters with a paddleboard — it's all part of the experience.

The journey ends at Acua Chalet, our lakeside retreat facing La Piedra del Peñol, where you’ll enjoy a traditional dessert and a cup of locally roasted coffee before returning to your hotel or Airbnb with unforgettable memories.
