Rock of Guatapé

The beautifully clear turquoise view, after those 650+ steps to the top. #waterlust #blue #worthit P.S. My thoughts on Guatapé (in Romanian)-- https://bit.ly/33UyMBi
View from the top of El Peñon de Guatape (The Rock of Guatape). The lake is man made for a hydroelectric dam built in 1970. It’s a short drive from Medellin and definitely worth a visit.
El Peñon is a granitic rock in Guatape, just outside of Medellin. You can get amazing views of a massive man-made lake by climbing the 740 steps to the top.
