The Old Peñol Replica is a theme park that evokes and keeps alive the memory of the old town that was flooded between 1971 and 1978 to make way for the Peñol-Guatapé Reservoir.
The replica recreates and reproduces what were the most emblematic places within the main park, such as the park, the parish temple and the town hall, along with other beautiful balconies and colorful structures that function as commercial premises where it is possible to find, among others, beautiful crafts and local souvenirs.
Imagine that the evening sun begins to caress the water, tinting it with golden and emerald tones. The boat moves smoothly over the calm surface of the Guatapé reservoir, leaving behind a trail of white foam that dissolves in seconds. Fresh air brings with it the aroma of vegetation and a distant murmur of birds flying over the small green islands.
At every turn, the view is transformed: on one side, the towering Stone of the Rock rises like an eternal guardian; on the other, colorful houses peek coyly among the hills, reflecting in the water mirror. The sky, dotted with soft clouds, frames a landscape that looks hand-painted.
There is time for photos, to close your eyes and let the wind caress your face, to absorb every detail as if time had stopped. It is an instant in which the heart is filled with gratitude and memory forever records the feeling of freedom, beauty and connection with nature.

To reach its summit it is necessary to climb more than 700 steps.
