An hour and a half bus ride from the northern bus terminal of Medellin will find you at this odd rock. It is a very nice day trip from Medellin and for
5,000 pesos you can climb up the several hundred steps and have an amazing view of the surrounding area. This all used to be farmland but was
turned into a series of lakes thirty years ago when the river was dammed. Now it is a popular place for holiday homes and the like.
