El Peñón de Guatapé, also known as La Piedra del Peñol, is a massive monolith offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding lake-filled landscape. Climbing the 700+ steps to the top is a popular activity, and can be physically demanding, so accessibility is limited for those with mobility issues. While solo visits are common and allow for independent exploration, guided tours offer insights into the region's history and geology. There are no significant seasonal restrictions affecting visits. The cost to climb the rock is relatively low, around $5-10 USD, and a typical visit duration is 2-4 hours, including the climb and time spent at the summit enjoying the views and refreshments.
