Unlock Colombia’s Hidden Fitness Paradises: A 2-Week Itinerary That Transforms Body and Mind
It takes around two hours to reach there from Medellin, so leave early and come back late if possible. You can also spend a night, but it’s not necessary.
The two main things you will want to see while you are here are the giant monolith, El Peñol (also known as the Guatape Rock), as well as the beautiful colonial town itself. The hike to the top of the Guatape Rock is a climb up 740 steps. It should only take about 15 to 20 minutes, and you’ll have spectacular views from there.

How to Get From Medellin to Salento
Salento is a fair distance from Medellin, so if you are pressed for time, I recommend flying, which only takes 50 minutes. However, you do not land in Salento itself, but rather the closest big city, Pereira. From here you have to either take a taxi directly or head just downtown to the bus station, and then take a bus to Salento. Direct with a taxi is around an hour; with the bus combo, it might take you two or more, depending on connections.
