Step back in time as you visit the Replica of Old El Peñol, a charming reconstruction that preserves the memory of the original town submerged after the creation of the Guatapé Reservoir in the 1970s. As you stroll through its colourful streets, your guide will share the fascinating storey of how an entire community was relocated to make way for one of Colombia's largest hydroelectric projects. You'll learn about the traditions, architecture, and daily life of the original village while discovering how its residents preserved their cultural identity despite this remarkable transformation. Surrounded by beautiful lake views and traditional Antioquian architecture, this stop offers a unique glimpse into the region's history and provides excellent opportunities for memorable photographs before continuing your journey to Guatapé.
