El Peñón de Guatapé, also known as La Piedra del Peñol, is a massive granite monolith located in the town of Guatapé, Antioquia, Colombia. Rising about 200 meters (around 656 feet) above the surrounding landscape, it offers breathtaking panoramic views of the nearby artificial lakes and lush, green countryside. Visitors can climb the rock via a stairway of 740 steps built into a crack on its side. At the summit, there is a viewing platform, small shops, and cafes where tourists can relax and take in the stunning scenery.
