The compact town of Guatape offers stunning aerial views best experienced by helicopter. A standout 6-minute flight takes visitors above the colorful lakeside community and surrounding green mountains.
The top tour combines this quick but memorable flight with ground exploration, including the famous climb up El Peñol Rock (740 steps). This smart 3-hour combo gives you both bird’s-eye and street-level perspectives of Colombia’s most photogenic small town.
I’m especially fond of the private tour option, which lets you set the pace and maximizes photo opportunities both in the air and during the town walk. The local pilots know exactly where to position the helicopter for perfect shots of the rock formation and patchwork of island-dotted lakes below.
