Before choosing where to stay
Getting Around
There is no direct airport access. Travelers typically drive or take a bus from Medellín, a journey of approximately 1.5 hours. The town is compact and walkable, though climbing El Peñón requires significant time and physical effort.
Best Season
The dry season from December to March offers the best conditions for climbing El Peñón and photography. Given the high altitude of 1,890 meters, temperatures can drop significantly in the evenings, so warm clothing is recommended year-round.
