Guatapé town stands out with its colorful houses and streets. From walls and windows to staircases and even roofs, everything is painted in vibrant colors, adding to the lively and energetic atmosphere of this charming town.
Most houses in Guatapé are built in a minimalist and old-fashioned architectural style. To create a unique look, the locals have chosen to use vibrant paint colors to decorate their houses and street corners. Furthermore, they meticulously decorate each staircase with a series of fascinating patterns.
According to local beliefs, decorating the town with bright colors is a way for them to express their hopes and faith. In addition, the murals on the walls carry various meanings. Some are used to refer to local businesses or the people's beliefs, while others depict the cultural heritage of the community.
Photographer Jessica Devnani says this town is a haven for selfie enthusiasts and professional photographers alike. No matter where you go, you can create an impressive work of art. One such example is the endless cobblestone street, dotted with colorful houses.
The Church of Our Lady here is also a stunning landmark that visitors shouldn't miss. If you have time, conquer La Piedra Del Peñol, the "giant rock," which is 2,100 meters above sea level. From here, you can admire the panoramic view of the surrounding landscape.
