What you'll see and do
Parque de Marinilla
Visit an animal farm and you can 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.

Piedra Del Penol
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.

Guatape
The next and last stop is one of the most authentic and picturesque towns in Colombia: Guatapé. Named after an indian chief this town has preserved the Zocalos tradition. But what are Zocalos? It's a beautiful artistic colonial tradition that people from Guatapé has taken to the next level. At this town you have lunch in a very authentic place with a view to the lake and then to wash it down you have the chance to try a fresh and authentic Colombian coffee, the best quality from the coffee region. After the lunch and coffee you are invited to make a guided tour in which your guide explains in more detail the zocalos meaning and the town history. You visit places like the church with its beautiful wood ceiling, Zocalos square and the Remembrance Street. These 8 hours will be very informative, fun and cultural that combined with exquisite traditional meals makes it a memorable experience.

Tailored to YOU!!!
We wanted to experience Guatapé on our terms and this private tour offered just that . We were able to choose the order of the activities and how they were done. Our tour Guide Erika was beyond amazing . A few minutes prior to the agreed pick up time we contacted her to indicate that we were heading to the lobby. She was already parked and ready for us . We received the warmest welcome which set a positive tone for the day ahead. Throughout the tour she was amiable , charismatic and informative. We enjoyed it from beginning to end. We appreciated the fact that she exercised patience at each stop . At no point did we feel rushed. She ensured we were hydrated throughout the day and honored our request for a drop off at the mall rather than our hotel . The tour was a 10/10 . I would highly recommended for anyone who prefers private to larger generic group tours. No rush , just vibes and done the way YOU like.

Guatape with Erika

Perfect tour day to Guatape
We were so lucky to have Erika as our guide to Guatape and it was a really beautiful experience; not only she is a very kind person but she has so much knowledge, she gave us a lot of interesting informations and facts along the way from Medellin to Giatape. It was all so interesting and pleasant; it was the best day for us. She is very professional, the car was new and clean, and again, it was a pleasure to have her with us exploring and explaining everything in a very interesting way. I definitely recommend this tour and this amazing guide!

Relaxed and interesting tour
We had a fabulous day with Laura - it was both relaxed and interesting - the fruit tasting was a highlight where we got to taste a number of unusual but tasty fruit. The climb was actually easier than I thought and then a lovely tour around the town and lunch !

Highly recommended tour – 10/10 experience!
Our tour to Guatapé was absolutely amazing. Everything was perfectly organized and the experience exceeded our expectations. The views were beautiful, and every part of the tour was enjoyable. Our guide was extraordinary — very friendly, professional, and attentive the entire time. She made us feel comfortable and explained everything with great enthusiasm. The customer service was excellent from beginning to end. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Colombia!

Private Guatape Town & Peñol Rock & Llama Farm Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Medellín.
How much does Private Guatape Town & Peñol Rock & Llama Farm Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $160 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 Town & Peñol Rock & Llama Farm Tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Town & Peñol Rock & Llama Farm Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 99 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Medellín, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Guatape Town & Peñol Rock & Llama Farm 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 Private Guatape Town & Peñol Rock & Llama Farm Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Guatape Town & Peñol Rock & Llama Farm Tour?
+
Around 35 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Guatape Town & Peñol Rock & Llama Farm 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 Private Guatape Town & Peñol Rock & Llama Farm Tour?
+
Included: Hotel pickup and drop-off; Private tour; Professional guide; Round-trip private transfer; and Driver/guide. Not included: Entrance fees; and Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Private Guatape Town & Peñol Rock & Llama Farm Tour include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 389 listed pickup locations in and around Medellín. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Private Guatape Town & Peñol Rock & Llama Farm Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Private Guatape Town & Peñol Rock & Llama Farm Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Private Guatape Town & Peñol Rock & Llama Farm Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Private Guatape Town & Peñol Rock & Llama Farm Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
What do travelers say about Private Guatape Town & Peñol Rock & Llama Farm Tour?
+
Across 99 reviews averaging 5.0 out of 5, recurring themes include knowledge and storytelling, the guide, food and drink. Reviewers describe the commentary as informative rather than scripted.
