More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
A low sun spreads across a broad, glassy reservoir as a guide sets a paddleboard into the water and welcomes you forward. The Guatapé Reservoir pushes and pulls at the light—ripples racing toward rocky promontories and into narrow coves where birds perch like quiet sentinels. On a guided SUP, paddlers move slowly enough to hear the water rearrange itself around the board and fast enough to sweep between islands and green slopes.
