Friday 16 August 2019.
Highlights: Replica town Peñol de Guatapé, Rock of Guatapé, Guatapé zocalos, tuk-tuk ride.
Today was a full free day from the tour so the group split and did there own thing. Seven of us selected a day tour to Guatapé which our tour leader Miguel organised and joined us (cost 110,000 pesos). It was to be a day of amazing colours, fitness tests and great street art work.
Thursday 15 August 2019.
Highlights: Exploring Medellín – Downtown and the infamous (but great) District 13, Monserrate Hill Cable Car ride.

Highlights: Cocora Valley Hike, Playing Tejo (Colombian traditional sport).

Highlights: Recuca Coffee Farm, Mi Monaco Farm Visit
Today started with nice included breakfast at the beautiful Mi Monaco Estate. The sun shining and the excellent company of the group over breakfast was an ideal start to the day.
