Visiting Guatapé: Colombia’s rainbow-colored lakeside town

Let’s talk Guatapé: Colombia’s rainbow-colored lakeside town where Instagram goes IRL 🌈💦 My day was packed with epic views, adrenaline, and super chill eats—here’s the must-hit spots! Top Spots to Visit: 1. Calle de los Paraguas (Cl. del Recuerdo, Guatapé): Snap pics under a canopy of colorful umbrellas, perfect for those “I’m really here!” moments. 😉 2. PARAGLIDING GUATAPÉ (Cl. 32 #28 83): Go airborne! Open 09:00-17:00 all year, get jaw-dropping aerial views over the lake—book ahead and don’t forget your sunglasses. 3. Plazoleta de Los Zócalos (Cra. 28a ##302): The heart of Guatapé’s street art, open all week but especially vibrant Sat-Sun (09:30-23:00). Best for people-watching and chilled afternoons. 4. Servicios Náuticos Guatapé: Rent a kayak or take a lake cruise (Cl 28 Cr 33 - 40 Ato : 302). Ask for local tips—they know all the secret coves! 5. Restaurante bar Martine (Carrera 29 #30-10): Top pick for a meal in the plaza—try the fresh trout and linger for the lively square vibes. 6. More eats: Nuestra Tierra and Al Carbon Parrilla Bar serve up solid Colombian favorites—drop by for grilled meats or local dishes. 7. Hotel Portobelo Guatape: Reliable base for exploring and selfie central at their rooftop. 8. Sweets & drinks: Aransa Gourmet and Bar Baroja for dessert and cocktails to end your day. Personal Tip: Guatapé gets super busy weekends—visit early for the best photos and more chill. Credit cards aren’t always accepted, so pack some cash! How to get around: Everything’s walkable—bring comfy shoes! Tuk-tuks are cheap and fun if you’re hopping between lakeside spots. #guatapecolors #colombiatravel #adventureready #foodiefinds #tripdotcom
