Park

👍👍 The road trip to Guatapé from Medellin is amazing. We stopped at the farm and made a rest stop and picked up something to eat by the road. The traffic coming back was hell but it was a great experience.

Namasté Vegan Food

Vegan restaurant

👍👍 It's a short menu, but they really rock it. This was the best vegan burger I've *ever* had, and what everyone else was eating was absolutely brilliant too. The seating upstairs is also really lovely, and there are paints so that you can help further decorate the place. I can't recommend this place h...

Tau House

Hotel

👍👍 I recently had the pleasure of staying at Tau House, and it was truly an amazing experience from start to finish.

Guatacrep'

👍👍 My favourite lunch in my months of travelling Latin America! So good that we even had to go back the next day (which we never do…).

Vecchio Forno

Restaurant

😐 Perhaps the most visually depressing restaurant I’ve been in. No wifi, no artwork, walls have nothing on them, no music, nothing on the tables, bright lights, just god awful. No wine by the glass. The pizza was good, flavorful, thin crust, perfectly cooked. But the red sauce was on the sweet side. I...

Malecón de Guatapé
