What you'll see and do
MedellinDayTrips
Visit an animal farm and interact and feed them. At this place you find Ostriches, Llamas, Alpacas, Horses, Ponies & Miniature Donkeys, Donkeys & Mules, Cows & "Vacas Paturras", Koi Fish, rabbits and Goats & Little Pigs. We include bags of carrots and fish food to feed them in case you want to do it. It's a beautiful place and very enjoyable for both adults and children. Since our tour is private we can skip this stop and spend more time in the rock or the town or we can do an exotic fruit tasting instead. Since Colombia is the most diverse country in the world in fruit production, as we grow over 430 fruits throughout our territory the exotic fruit tasting is also an interesting activity. This is why we think we should take you to a fruit stand to try some of them. In this short stop we provide you different exotic fruits you probably didn’t even know existed, with intense sour or sweet flavors.

Penol
The drive from the fruits to the coffee farm is around 35 minutes but is full of beautiful sceneries of kale plantations, onion, sugar cane, coffee, tomatoes and hundreds of mountains silhouettes. The coffee you enjoy each day has taken a long journey to arrive in your cup, with this complementary tour you get to know this amazing journey in detail. Right before getting to the Guatapé rock we have the opportunity to visit a wonderful coffee plantation which is definitely one of the most authentic tours you can do in Colombia. Between the time coffee beans are planted, picked and purchased, they go through a typical series of steps to bring out their best. The coffee production stages you will see are: • Planting • Picking the ripen beans selectively • Depulping • Fermenting and washing • Drying • Millling • Roasting

Penol
After this memorable visit to the coffee farm we continue our journey to the Rock of Guatape (also known as Peñol). As we drive we start telling you all the history of the rock: components, owners, when was it climbed up 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 thousands 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.
90 minutes here
Guatape
The drive to Guatape from the rock is only 10 to 15 minutes. At this town we take a fully narrated walking tour through the town's landmarks such as the church, main square, remembrance street, Zocalos Square and more. Once the walking tour has concluded we take you to the best restaurant in town to have a traditional delicious lunch (not included in the tour) where you have more than 20 different options to try the local cuisine accompanied of a cold sangria or a craft beer. After we finish our lunch and walking tour in this beautiful Guatape town we head back to Medellin in our comfortable private car with a smile in our faces and full of good memories and probably some gifts for our family back home.

Perfect Medellin Day Trip! (Ask for Erika!)
This trip is the perfect day trip to take if you are visiting Medellin, and if you are lucky enough to get Erika as your guide it will be even better. She made the entire day so much fun and also taught us so much along the way. Definitely climb up the rock, it’s a steep climb but very short and the view makes it totally worth it. Also highly recommend adding in a speed boat tour around El Peñol after you climb - it was such a cool way to see the town and learn more about the history. This trip was one of our favorite parts of our entire 2 week trip. Erika was fantastic and so knowledgeable and kept things fun and interesting even though it was a really long day.

Great experience from the start to finish!
Alejandro was fantastic! He picked us up at the airport, took us straight into our tour, and then brought us back to our hotel, which made the whole experience so easy from a transportation standpoint. He was super communicative, thoughtful, and incredibly knowledgeable. He gave us so much historical and cultural context as we went from place to place, which made the tour feel much more meaningful. We were traveling with our infant, and Alejandro went above and beyond to help us get what we needed to keep the baby comfortable—not just during the tour, but for the rest of our trip too. That thoughtfulness really stood out. We would 100% recommend Alejandro. If you can book him, ask for him directly! He’s a fascinating person with an interesting background and clearly loves sharing what he knows.

Up with the best
Really enjoyed this tour. Our guide yuly was such a nice person, very knowledgeable and we enjoyed her company. We tasted fruit we had never tried before in a local market climbed guatape. Explored a beautiful Colombian town. Eat local food over looking the lake and the best experience was last. Visiting a Colombian family growing coffee. The whole trip was great. Colombia is my 92nd visited country. This was a travel day up with the best.

A must must tour
Yesterday was an absolutely amazing day! First of all, the payment process was super easy and trustworthy, which made everything simple from the beginning. Erica picked us up from our hotel at 7:00 AM in a brand-new EV van. She was incredibly kind and super knowledgeable about everything — from local stories and Colombian culture to actual history. Her English was perfect too! We drove to La Piedra del Peñol, and by 9:00 AM we were already climbing it. Around noon, we visited Guatapé, where Erica showed us around and recommended where to eat some amazing meat and where to buy quality local products, including leather goods. Then came probably my favorite activity of the entire day: visiting a local coffee farm. This wasn’t one of those overly touristy experiences. It was a real, privately owned family farm with its own coffee plantation. We experienced the entire process: a quick introduction to coffee, picking the beans ourselves, cleaning them, separating them, drying them, cleaning them again, packing them, roasting them and, finally, drinking the coffee we had just learned so much about. It was a true 100% hands-on experience with the local family. I don’t want to spoil too much because you really need to experience it yourselves! On the way back, we even made a few quick stops to try some local fruits. It was honestly the perfect Colombian day. I’m Colombian myself, and after seeing my country through this experience, I don’t think I’ve ever felt so proud to be Colombian. My French family absolutely loved it as well. 10/10 stars for the company. 100/10 for Erica. 🇨🇴

Private Guatape & Coffee Farm Tour: The Two Must do in One Day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does Private Guatape & Coffee Farm Tour: The Two Must do in One Day cost?
+
Prices start at $181 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 Private Guatape & Coffee Farm Tour: The Two Must do in One Day 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 Private Guatape & Coffee Farm Tour: The Two Must do in One Day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 780 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 Private Guatape & Coffee Farm Tour: The Two Must do in One Day?
+
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 Private Guatape & Coffee Farm Tour: The Two Must do in One Day 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 Private Guatape & Coffee Farm Tour: The Two Must do in One Day?
+
Around 273 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 Private Guatape & Coffee Farm Tour: The Two Must do in One Day 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.
