We went to El Peñol, the second largest monolith in South America after Sugarloaf Mountain in Rio de Janiero. We climbed the 705 steps to the top.

There is a major hydro-electric dam which flooded the valley. The government relocated people to a new town.


After El Peñol, we took a trip to the beautiful town of Guatapé.


The colours really strike you.





The buildings have painted, artistic mouldings telling the story of the town.
