Two hours east of Medellin is the town of
Guatapé, where the attraction, just outside the
town, is the Piedra del Peñol. 750 steps lead
you to the very top of the 200 meter high rock
where you get absolutely stunning views of the
lakes and mountains in the area. The townabout a 15 minute tuk-tuk ride away--has some
very good waterfront restaurants specializing in
paisa food—hearty portions of grilled fish or
meat with beans, rice, corn and potato.
We ate at El Fogata—which was a great choice.
