The story

Here are a couple of day tours you can do from the city of Medellín: Guatapé, famous for its earthy sugar-loaf rock and for its lakes, a holiday spot for Colombia's wealthiest gentlemen, and Santa Fe de Antioquia, important for its colonial old town and for the splendid ancient bridge reachable by the famous tai tuk-tuks! Both destinations not to be missed!
