What you can expect

Discover one of the most iconic sites linked to Pablo Escobar’s legacy on this guided experience to Hacienda La Manuela, located on the shores of the Guatapé reservoir.

Choose the option that best suits your travel plans: meet your guide at Pier 72 Restaurant in Guatapé, enjoy pickup from your hotel in Guatapé and nearby areas, or join the full-day tour departing from Medellín.

Once the group is assembled, board a boat and enjoy a scenic cruise across the Guatapé reservoir, accompanied by music on board and spectacular views of the surrounding landscapes. During the journey, your guide will share stories about the region, the reservoir, and its transformation over the years.

Along the way, you'll pass the cross marking the original town of El Peñol, now submerged beneath the water, see the Peñol House Museum, and admire lakeside properties and panoramic views of the iconic El Peñol Rock from the reservoir.

Upon arrival, step into Hacienda La Manuela, one of Pablo Escobar’s most famous former estates. Built in the late 1980s, the property became one of his most recognised retreats and remains an important historical landmark in the region.

During the guided visit, explore the estate's ruins, learn about its history, and hear fascinating stories about its past. You'll also visit the main house, including areas such as Escobar’s former bedroom and the underground bunkers that still remain on the property.

After the guided tour, enjoy free time to explore the estate at your own pace, take photos of the reservoir, relax by the pool area, or participate in optional adventure activities available on site.

For travellers choosing the Medellín option, transport to and from the city is included, making this a convenient way to experience one of Guatapé’s most unique attractions.

At the end of the experience, return by boat to Guatapé, where the tour concludes. If you selected hotel pickup or the Medellín option, transport back to your original departure point will be provided.
