[Guatapé – Pueblo de Zócalos]

[Guatapé – Pueblo de Zócalos] — Culture and colors told through the wall decoration “Zócalo”. The world’s most colorful small town that makes your heart dance just by walking — Guatapé, Antuoquia, is a small lakeside town about two hours by car from Medellin. All the buildings are decorated with vivid colors and “Zócalos” (wall decorations) depicting local life and history, making the whole town seem like art . ⸻ 📍[Location] About 79km east of Medellin. A small town facing the lake, the area around the central “Plaza de los Zócalos” is a photogenic area . 🕰️[Sightseeing points] One to two hours is enough to walk around the town. There are many steep slopes and cobblestone streets, but there are rest spots and photogenic places here and there. Morning or early afternoon is recommended . ⸻ ✨Recommended points • The vividly colored Zocalo: Each house has a different wall decoration, and just looking at it makes you excited! • A local feel that's not just sightseeing: You can walk around the city and feel the warmth while getting a glimpse into the lives of local people. • Infinite photogenic spots: Wherever you walk, the scenery is "photogenic", so you won't be able to put your camera away. • Enjoy the lake and rocks as a set: If you visit "Piedra del Peñol" at the same time, you can enjoy both the spectacular view and colorful sightseeing. ⸻ 🎒 Tips • The morning light is the best: The softest light in the morning makes for beautiful photos! • Wear comfortable shoes: There are many cobblestones and slopes, so sneakers are comfortable to walk on. • Take a leisurely stroll: There are also stylish cafes and souvenir shops, so please enjoy it with plenty of time! ⸻ 🌟【How to enjoy it to the next level】 It's also great to take a boat ride on the lake and see the colorful houses from the water. Experience the extraordinary feeling that comes from the scenery of water and colors. #AbsolutelyFreeTrip #Colombia #Medellin #Guatape
