The Guatape Lakes are a nice day trip to take from Medellin – views from the top of the 220m (720 feet) tall La Piedra are cool and the walk around the colourful town of Guatape is nice. But I’d challenge a lot I’ve read about this being a “must see”.
I found so much in Colombia way ahead of it. In particular, Hiking the Lost City Trek, Cartagena Old Town, Valley de Cocora and Salento, Tayrona National Park and Medellin. The Guatape Lakes are a nice day trip if you have a spare day, but don’t prioritise over these.
