Workation in Guatapé: the essentials
Nearly every house in the centre of Guatapé wears a zócalo, a painted relief along the bottom of the wall, and at weekends much of Medellín seems to come and look at them. The town lies 79 km from Medellín in eastern Antioquia, at 1,890 m on the shores of a hydropower reservoir, with the 740 steps of El Peñón rock rising nearby. Fridays to Sundays are loud and full, while weekdays are calm, which is when working here makes sense. Long-stay visitors tend to rent houses or fincas around the water. José María Córdova airport is about 30 km away.
