What a day!
Andres was the consummate guide for our adventure! He was a safe and good driver.
The Rock at Peñol was mesmerizing, and Andres WOWED us with the history of The Rock and the entire surrounding area.
Guatapé is so rich in history (both fact and myth) and Andres told us so many stories, it really brought it all to life for us! We loved hearing and seeing the pics of the “Blue Dragon” lake.
Andes had many contacts in Guatapé and they were very welcoming when we visited shops and the restaurants (delicious lunch!).
The Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Carmen was beautiful and very spiritual.
Our visit to the coffee plantation was educational! Who knew there were so many steps from germinating the seeds to finally having the “perfect cup of coffee”, and we were able to experience every aspect of the process! Wonderful farm and loved every minute.
On the way back to Medelliń we stopped at Peñol for “fruit tasting”. Andres had us tasting fruits I’ve never seen or heard of! Quite an experience
Andres was so patient with us, letting us spend the day at our own pace and was so respectful, cheerful and generous of spirit.
This tour was EPIC!!!
