View from the top of El Peñon de Guatape (The Rock of Guatape). The lake is man made for a hydroelectric dam built in 1970. It’s a short drive from Medellin and definitely worth a visit.
El Peñon is a granitic rock in Guatape, just outside of Medellin. You can get amazing views of a massive man-made lake by climbing the 740 steps to the top.
