Parque Tematico Replica del Viejo Penol
The Replica of Old Peñol is a theme park that evokes and keeps alive the memory of the old town that was flooded between 1971 and 1978 to make way for the Peñol-Guatapé Reservoir. The replica recreates and reproduces what were the most emblematic sites within the main park, such as the park, the parish church and the town hall, along with other beautiful balconies and colorful structures that function as commercial premises where it is possible to find, among other things, beautiful local crafts and souvenirs. This park, besides having become the main tourist attraction for this municipality, is a project to recover the historical memory of a town whose flood and relocation is full of melancholic memories for its inhabitants, but also of heroism and bravery. In their struggle, they rose again like the phoenix and managed to keep alive the legacy of a municipality whose history is divided into two: the Old and the New Peñol, as it is traditionally known.
Guatape / Piedra Del Penol
Without a doubt, the Piedra del Peñol has become one of the biggest tourist attractions in Antioquia. Also known as “El Peñol de Guatapé”, this natural wonder is 220 meters high and has more than 700 steps that will help you reach the top, where you can delight in the view of the 2,200 hectares of the dam. Discover more activities that you can find in Guatapé here Let's start with the first thing, what is La Piedra del Peñol? It is a batholith, which are large masses of rocks that are formed due to the cooling of the Earth's surface. Now that you know what it is, it's time to get down to business: the story behind the Piedra del Peñol. Before having the importance that this natural wonder has today, they say that the Piedra del Peñol was an element of worship for the indigenous people who inhabited this land before the Spanish and, between us, that it was the victim of multiple kidnapping attempts by the devil, and because of this it has a large crack on one of its sides.
