This place has been sought for many years, but evidence of its existence has not yet been found. There is also an alternative legend of El Dorado, according to which this city is located in the Andes, near the lake. Thanks to this legend, the first conquistadors set out in search of this lake, and for some reason, which the guide will tell you about, this lake is Guatavita. Visit this mystical place and enjoy its beauty, history, stunning views, landscapes, and perhaps you will discover gold particles during a walk along the Indian trails.

An unforgettable flight over the most beautiful reservoir, Peñol-Guatapé, and the fairy-tale rock El Peñón de Guatapé. At 08:30, take a flight to Guatapé y Peñol. During the flight, you will witness the beauty of the Peñol-Guatapé reservoir and the power of the El Peñón de Guatapé rock. The town of Guatapé is comfortably situated on the shore of this picturesque reservoir with emerald water, intricately carved coastline, and numerous small islands. Here, you can take a boat, yacht, or motorboat ride, as well as ride a water bike, kayak, jet ski, and water ski. The famous Colombian monolith "El Peñón de Guatapé" – the only large-sized rock in the world on the surface of the earth – is located between the towns of El Peñol and Guatapé, and each of them considers it their landmark, attracting tourists. Therefore, the rock was named by combining the names of the towns so that no one would be offended. The height of the rock is 220 meters, with an additional 2/3 of the rock below ground. It is believed to be over 70 million years old. Since the 1940s, El Peñón de Guatapé has been under state protection. The first ascent was made in 1954 and took 5 days. In these places, the Tahamis Indians lived, considering the rock sacred and calling it "muharra," which means "stone." The Tahamis worshipped the fish Batolito, which, according to legend, leaped out of the sea to protect them from the wrath of the heavenly gods. In battle, it turned to stone and became El Peñón de Guatapé. The rock rises alone among low hills, making it look particularly imposing. After landing, the helicopter, which will be waiting for you for 2 hours, continues the tour on the reservoir. The reservoir tour (with waiting time on land - 2 hours without additional charge) is included: airport fees, insurance policy. Return flight to Medellín and departure to Bogotá.
