Running in Guatapé

Colombia

Colorful lakeside town in Antioquia, famous for El Peñol de Guatapé — a giant granite monolith with 700+ steps and panoramic views over the reservoir. Quiet back roads and old caminos make for great morning runs before the day-trip crowds arrive.

Three runs, hand-picked

Every Runaway city has exactly three routes — one for each kind of run.

Long Run

El Peñol Back Country Long Run

A beautiful back country long run from Guatapé out toward El Peñol. Do this in the morning before or after visiting the rock — run out to the base of the Piedra,then run back into town. The first part to El Peñol is really beatiful and has almost no traffic. The return leg toward Guatapé has more traffic, but most of the way you can hop onto an old camino that runs parallel to the road, keeping you off the asphalt.
