What to expect
Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: MedellinDayTrips, Carrera 27 27 180, Medellin 050011 Colombia
Colombia is the most diverse country in the world in fruit production as we grow over 430 fruits throughout our territory.
This is why we think we should take you to a fruit stand to try some of the most delicious ones.
In this short stop, we are going to visit a farmers' market so you can be in a non-touristy place. Once there we provide you different exotic fruits you probably didn’t even know existed, with intense sour or sweet flavors.
This is around a 20 minutes stop that is on the way to Guatape but our guests have loved it so far, so we are sure you are going to love it too.
It is also a good opportunity to stretch your legs after 1 hour of sitting in the car before we reach the coffee farm, our next stop.
Duration: 20 minutes
Stop At: Penol, Penol, Antioquia Department
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
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Penol, Penol, Antioquia Department
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.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Guatape, Guatape, Antioquia Department
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.
Duration: 2 hours

Had a great private English speaking tour with Juan Camilo to Guatapé with stop at a coffee plantation, climbing the Rock and late lunch at an animal farm. Very good experience, Juan Camilo was very knowledgeable, adjusted to our pace and interests, was very pleasant to interact with and on top of everything a safe driver. 😀 We also went on the Communa 13 tour with Erika and had a similar great experience. Go no further than Medellín Day Trips as a tour company when visiting Medellín!DJS430

Just got back from one of the most fun, easy going day trips we have ever had! We’ve been touring for years but Andres treated us like family and made the entire day seamless. We went 4 different places but it all flowed together very naturallly. If you want a relaxed but educational fun tour this is it. I picked coffee beans and went through the entire processing of them. I will never take my coffee for granted again!lissie-852

We had the best time doing two different day tours with Medellin Day Trips. We did the Graffiti Tour of Comuna 13 and the Guatape and Coffee Farm.

We had the best time doing two different day tours with Medellin Day Trips. We did the Graffiti Tour of Comuna 13 and the Guatape and Coffee Farm. Our first day, the graffiti tour, we had Daniel and he was great. We have a 3 year old daughter and he was very patient with her and aware of our needs throughout the day. When we found out we weren't going to have him the next day for our Guatape tour, we were really bummed. However, we had Erika that day and she was incredible. Our daughter became great friends with her and elected to hold her hand throughout the day instead of ours -- definitely the sign of a great guide! We were also able to stop (twice! on the way there and back) to feed horses -- something that our daughter loved and was the highlight of her day. We have traveled a lot and been on a lot of private tours in many countries and I can honestly say these were best tours we've ever had. Our guides spoke perfect English and were so accommodating. Highly recommend this company!GkALLday

10/10 experience. A friend and I did a private tour and I don't want to do a group tour ever again. It was such a pleasant experience. A full day, but well worth it!

Yuly was amazing! She had a great attitude and you could tell she enjoyed providing and answering questions about Colombia and Medellin area. The best parts of the trip was the coffee farm and learning about the process from the farmer Miller. In addition, she choose a great place for lunch and even indulged my request to stop for arepas on the way there. This experience provides all the highlights you need in a day trip outside of Medellin. I also really enjoyed the fruit tasting, rock, and the town of Guatape. It’s so beautiful and the pictures don’t do it justiceWalkerwellness1

Our guide Erika provided us with a fantastic private day trip. We loved everything about this day tour. The view from the top of the rock was so spectacular. The coffee was amazing! Erika went above and beyond to make our day so special.
