Tour heads to one of the most fascinating scenarios just outside the city. It is El Retiro where you can admire amazing views of the outskirts and appreciate amazing mansions as the journey takes you to a more rural section with exotic tropical forest known to be one of the first massive liberation of slaves in America by Miss. Javiera Londoño in 1,757.

Upon arrival to this first stop you may walk around to take photos. There are cafeterias and restaurants and we suggest you bring cash since not all shops take credit cards.

Tour goes on to El Peñol, a village that was relocated during the past century in order to create this spectacular human made lake called Guatapé. This quick stop will show you a replica of the old Peñol village before its relocation.

Finally, at Guatapé, Zocalo village is the ideal place to enjoy lunch while sharing outstanding views of the lake. At the end of the day, tour heads back to Medellín passing along beautiful towns around the region.
