What you can expect

Meet your guide at Pier 72 Restaurant in Guatapé and set off on a scenic boat ride across the Guatapé reservoir, accompanied by music on board. During the approximately 20-minute journey, enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes while learning about the history of the region.

Along the way, pass the cross marking the original town of El Peñol, now submerged beneath the reservoir, see the Peñol House Museum, and admire luxury lakeside homes owned by well-known Colombian figures. Take in unique views of El Peñol Rock from the water.

Upon arrival, visit Hacienda La Manuela, once owned by Pablo Escobar. Built in the late 1980s as a gift for his daughter, the estate featured docks, a swimming pool, and recreational areas before being partially destroyed by a dynamite attack in 1993.

Explore the ruins as your guide shares historical context, stories, and insights about the site and its significance in Colombia’s recent history. Continue with a guided visit inside the main house, where you will see areas such as Escobar’s former bedroom and underground bunkers.

After the guided tour, enjoy free time to explore the property at your own pace or take part in optional activities available on site.
