Medellín is one of the most acclaimed cities in Latin America today. Founded among the mountains in the western part of the country, in Medellín the beauty of the coffee landscapes is integrated with the best of a modern metropolis. Its nature, its culture, its festivals and its gastronomy make this city an unmissable tourist destination during your stay in Colombia.
In Spanish school Nueva Lengua We seek that our students obtain a comprehensive cultural experience: with the best of urban and rural, night tourism and cultural tourism. For this reason, at our headquarters in Medellín we organize tours to Guatapé, a town located less than two hours from the city, which has some of the most important tourist attractions in the region. Here we tell you how it went on our most recent visit.
The tour began at 6 am in El Poblado Park, the city's central point of culture, where we met students from England, Brazil, Germany, Switzerland, the United States, Turkey, and France. From there we left for the town of Guarne and we had the pleasure of eat breakfast like locals: with rice, scrambled eggs, beans, arepa, chocolate and orange juice.
Our first stop in Guatapé was the imposing Piedra del Peñol, a gigantic monolith over 200 meters high that is climbed through a path of stairs with 715 steps. Not bad for exercising after that tremendous breakfast, right?
