The 3 Piedras Guatapé Colombia MTB Adventure

So you conquered all 740 steps of La Piedra del Peñol, now you’re thinking, what else can I do in Guatapé? If you enjoy getting out and experiencing nature, Mountain Biking in Colombia is the best way to see the country. Did you know that there are two other equally impressive piedras like the Piedra del Peñol? One of them even has a beautiful church under it!! Exploring Guatapé Antioquia by Mountain bike is really the best way to really see this part of Colombia. Antioquia, Colombia is a picturesque wonderland full of natural wonders, spectacular vistas, and immense bio-diversity! Really there’s so much more to see here! If you love biking and your a passionate explorer, the we invite you to join us on an amazing cycling adventure around the three Piedras of Antioquia, Colombia.

On this one amazing cross country mountain biking adventure you’ll travel across the Embalse (the lake) in a boat, see Pablo Escobar’s Island, then ride a bicycle through some of the most scenic countryside in Colombia, as you visit the Giant Piedras on the return we also visit the Replica of the submerged city of Old Peñol.

The Church Under The Piedra del Marial

It’s a full day adventure and it all starts with breakfast at Guatapé’s Casa de Ciclistas.

After breakfast we’ll load the Mountain Bikes on the boat and head out for a tour across the Archipelago of the Embalse de Peñol. On this excursion you’ll see many of the islands and inlets of the Embalse. You’ll capture spectacular photos of La Piedra del Peño from the water. You’ll pass over the submerged city of old Peñol and see the cross at the top of the church, and you’ll also see the abandoned island playground of Pablo Escobar.

Once we arrive on the other side we’ll ride our bikes through some of the most scenic landscapes of Antioquia to visit two more Giant Piedras. Then we’ll also stop for some food at the Replica of Old Peñol before continuing on to La Piedra del Peñol. It’s a full day of adventure well off the beaten path!

You’ll leave Antioquia with some of the most unique and impressive photos of your time here in Colombia! After all the reason you came to Antioquia was to experience the natural beauty of Colombia!!
