Why Guatapé
Colombia's largest reservoir.
75 minutes from Medellín.

Guatapé sits at 1,900 metres above sea level on a 70 km² reservoir surrounded by protected jungle. El Peñol — Colombia's most photographed natural landmark — is visible from nearly every property we list.

A new highway is reducing travel time from Medellín to under 75 minutes. Shoreline inventory is structurally limited by the reservoir boundary. Current pricing runs 60–80% below comparable lakefront markets in North America and Europe.
