Yes, Guatape is a very town in Colombia. The town is very reliant on tourism and is so tranquil. You won’t be able to wander too far here—Guatape is small, and the type of place where people really know each other. It’s got such a communal spirit! When Sean asked our driver if Guatape was safe, he started chuckling because yes, Guatape is very safe. Of any city I visited in Colombia, I easily felt safest in Guatape, then Cartagena (read my Cartagena guide here).
