Now Guatap\u00e9&#8217;s main revenue comes in the form of tourism for its colorful houses, its large fresh-water reservoir and marina, and the enormous rock, El Pe\u00f1ol that dominates the landscape. El Pe\u00f1ol is a monolithic rock that towers more than 650 feet (200 meters) above the landscape of Guatap\u00e9. You can reach the top of this national monument by climbing the 740 stairs that have been wedged into the side of the rock.<\/p>\n<p><strong>SOME FACTS ABOUT EL PE\u00d1OL:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The rock was first \u201cofficially\u201d climbed in 1954 by Luis Villegas, Pedro Nel Ramirez and Ram\u00f3n Diaz \u2013 it took them five days<\/li>\n<li>The rock is privately owned<\/li>\n<li>In 2019 the cost to \u201cclimb\u201d the rock is $18.000 COP which is a fee that is not covered by most tours (it is covered in ours)<\/li>\n<li>The rock is approximately 200 meters tall<\/li>\n<li>There are 740 steps to the top<\/li>\n<li>There are no elevators, so all food and drink are carried up the rock manually.<\/li>\n<li>There is an outer staircase for going up and an inner staircase for going down (not inside the rock, just inside the other staircase)<\/li><\/ul><ul>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Guatape Tour \u2013 The Guatap\u00e9 tour is one of the most popular tours in Medell\u00edn.
