The drive from the fruits to the rock is around 35 minutes but is full of beautiful sceneries of kale plantations, onion, sugar cane, coffee, tomatoes and hundreds of mountains silhouettes.
As we drive we start telling you all the history of the rock: components, owners, when was it climbed and more interesting facts.
Once we get there you get the chance to climb up it. It’s 749 steps and 50 minutes approximately to go up and down.
Once you reach the top, you can stay up there for as long as you wish as you witness one of the most beautiful views you have ever seen.
This is not only our opinion but that of hundreds of tourists we have taken there.
At the top there are several shops where you can buy water, beer and many other items and sit down to appreciate the view of the lake, tiny islands and country houses.
Whenever you feel ready to start going down we'll be ready waiting for you to continue our adventure to one of the most colorful towns in the country: Guatape town.

Escaleras Electricas De La Comuna 13
3h · Admission ticket included
Comuna 13 was the most dangerous district in Medellin only 18 years ago.
And is also the place where the first outdoor non-touristy electrical escalators in the world were installed. They were inaugurated in December of 2011 with a cost of 3,5 million dollars and was built to save more than 350 stairs in a very steep hill.
Besides the escalators, Comuna 13 is also one of the biggest street art district in Latin America.
Half of the neighborhood displays meaningful graffitis and you get the chance to learn all their meanings in this incredible Graffiti Tour with us.
Throughout the walk in Comuna 13 we invite you to try the traditional snacks from Colombia, if you are a foodie you will love the food.
Empanadas, Butifarras, Carimañolas, Aborrajado and more, all of them delicious and authentic.
In our walk we visit the view point, the new pathway full of graffiti and the slide built to honor a tragedy occurred in Comuna 13.
There is a lot of history to be heard at this tour.
