Colombia is more than Escobar
The booking was well worth the price of the tour. Our tour guide Jose was amazing! Communication was great as well as the lunch that was included. The only thing I would say that was a bit annoying was the driver was honking at everyone and everything, he must have been famous around there. It’s a long day so plan accordingly.
Response from the operator: It is so wonderful to hear that Jose took such fantastic care of you and that the lunch and logistics hit the mark, even if your driver was a bit too eager with the horn throughout the journey to Guatapé! Drivers around here definitely like to make their presence known, but we appreciate you rolling with it and pointing out how much value you got out of the day. Since you appreciated exploring Colombia's true identity beyond the usual clichés, you would absolutely love diving into our rural traditions with the Tour del Café or discovering the city's incredible urban story on the City Tour next time! Thank you so much for traveling with us and sharing your honest thoughts, sending you a big warm hug, and we hope to see you back on board again soon! ☕️🏙️

Since you've already conquered the countryside, on your next trip you've got to dive into the urban heart of the city with our City Tour! 🏙️✨ It's the ultimate way to explore the culture, ride the iconic Metrocable, and feel the local rhythm up close. Thanks a million for spreading the word and hyping us up! Sending you a huge hug, and we can't wait to host you again on your next big adventure! 😎✌️

Super recommended. You make the most of the day, touring places with more than enough time. The transport is very comfortable, the places you travel are amazing. Both our guide that day and the driver, who were Ariana and Juanjo were excellent. Information, good vibes, super respectful. Undoubtedly an opportunity to do this tour if you have few days in the city and do not want to miss anything . 🇨🇴❤️🇨🇴Highly recommended!!
Response from the operator: What an incredible review to read! Knowing that you were able to take in all the magic of Guatapé comfortably and at the perfect pace means the world to us at Aeroturex. 🇨🇴❤️ Ariana and Juanjo are pure gold! That combination of detailed history, respectful attention, and contagiously good vibes is exactly what we love sharing with our travelers. I’m rushing over to share your sweet words with both of them right away—it’s going to make their whole week! 🚐✨ Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for recommending us so warmly! Since you loved exploring top spots with total comfort, on your next visit to Medellín you definitely need to dive into the city's incredible history of resilience with our Transformación después de Pablo Escobar tour. 🏙️🕊️ Sending you a massive hug from Medellín, and remember you’ll always have a home waiting for you here!

You need to see it!
I've never taken so many pictures in one trip. Amazing place. Our guide, Daniel was great!
Response from the operator: That’s the Guatapé effect! Between those vibrant zócalos in the town and the 360° views from the top of the Rock, it’s basically impossible to put the camera down. We’re so glad Daniel was there to bring the whole experience to life and make sure you didn't miss a single iconic shot! When you’re ready to fill up your phone’s memory card all over again, we’d love to take you through the incredible street art of Comuna 13 or ride through the stunning lush landscapes on our Coffee Tour. Thanks a ton for snapping memories with Aeroturex—until next time! 📸⛰️

Great value
Great value trip, lunch was good, saw a lot of cool things and cool views, as well as learned a lot. Daniel was a solid guide and Alejandro was the best driver ever, we popped a tire on the way there and had to wait for another bus, but he still made it to Guatape on time.
Response from the operator: Now that is what we call absolute rockstar logistics! Alejandro handling that tire situation like an absolute legend to get you to Guatapé right on schedule—without missing a single beat or view—is the exact hustle and dedication we live for at Aeroturex. And paired with Daniel's solid insights, great food, and killer views, it sounds like an adventure for the books! When you're ready to stack up more incredible views and top-tier value, we’d love to take you high into the mountains for the Coffee Tour or dive straight into the vibrant energy of the Comuna 13 experience. Huge thanks for shouting out the team's quick recovery and for rolling with us! 🛞💥⛰️

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Peñol Stone and Pablo Escobar Hacienda Boat Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does Peñol Stone and Pablo Escobar Hacienda Boat Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $56 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Medellín usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Peñol Stone and Pablo Escobar Hacienda Boat Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Medellín is not rushed.
Is Peñol Stone and Pablo Escobar Hacienda Boat Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 88 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 583 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Medellín, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Peñol Stone and Pablo Escobar Hacienda Boat Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Peñol Stone and Pablo Escobar Hacienda Boat Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Peñol Stone and Pablo Escobar Hacienda Boat Tour?
+
Around 204 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Medellín can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Medellín and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Peñol Stone and Pablo Escobar Hacienda Boat Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Medellín within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Medellín?
+
On Outty we rank every Medellín experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Guatapé Tour: Piedra del Peñol with Boat Tour, Breakfast, Lunch, Half Day Bike Tour in Medellin - Local snack, Coffee or Beer, Guided Tour of Comuna 13 Medellín with Snacks Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Medellín?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Medellín?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Peñol Stone and Pablo Escobar Hacienda Boat Tour?
+
Included: Tree tomato with panelita; Lunch; Single and silence the memories in Guatape; Strawberries and cream; and Round trip transportation. Not included: Rock Climbing Payment 6 USD. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Peñol Stone and Pablo Escobar Hacienda Boat Tour?
+
We recommend arriving 20 minutes before departure time. The meeting point is La 9 Mall Gastroturístico, exactly in Cl. 9 #42 - 27, El Poblado, Medellín - Antioquia! Ask for Aeroturex. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

+
