About

The reservoir that flooded a valley of small towns in the 1970s left behind a maze of green islands and inlets best seen from the water rather than the shoreline, and the boat tours departing Guatape's waterfront malecon cover the calmer coves along with views back up at Piedra del Penol. Water level shifts with the season and occasionally exposes the old town's rooftops beneath the surface, a detail most boat guides point out without being asked. Combine it with the rock climb earlier in the day, the boats run until early evening.
