Sunday we took the metro to the cable cars that take you to the top of
the city about 30-40 min to the top, when you get off its cute little farmers
markets and stands selling fruits, flowers, plants, vegetables, snacks etc. The rest of the day we walked around, did
some site seeing then headed back to our place, grabbed dinner and some drinks
with others staying at our hostel.

Monday we woke up
bright and early to take a shuttle about 2 hours to the small town of
Guatape. We first walked to the top of
La Piedra Del Penol (The Rock of Guatape) which was originally 675 steps to the
top but then they added on a tower making it a total of 740 steps. It was a long and slow climb up but well
worth it when you got to the top and had spectacular 360 degree views of the
beautiful town and country side. The walk down was almost harder than the walk
up, with our shaky legs feeling like jello.

When we got to the
bottom we took a car to the actual center of Guatape. Super cute small town on the water, with vibrant
colors, murals, and little cafes and restaurants. For lunch we had steak, rice, eggs, beans,
plantains and a small salad for $3 USD.
Delicious and cheap!!
