What a place for drone photography...Mountains, Lakes...amazing people. El Peñol, or the Rock of Guatepe, is one of those places where the views are absolutely spectacular. The top of the granite massif stands about 650 feet above the surrounding terrain and topping out at an elevation of over 7,000 feet. The 750 steps to the top are well worth the exertion. The rock is surrounded by the spectacular Penol - Guatepe reservoir, which was constructed in the 1970's and supplies over 30% of Colombia's electricity. It looks like an amazing place to kayak..
