Questions & Answers about Traveling from Medellin to Guatape

There are a few options for the Medellin to Guatape transfer, including transfers by a few bus companies and private transport services. The Daytrip private car service is the most comfortable and convenient way to visit this small town, offering swift door-to-door service with an English-speaking driver.

While there are taxis in Gautape, it may be better to choose a private driving transfer to customize your itinerary as much as possible. A tour operator or bus company will also limit your available departure times, making it harder to avoid crowds during peak travel times.

A bus ticket from Medellin's terminal Norte (North Terminal) to Guatapé can cost as little as $6 online but may cost more when purchased on the day of travel at the station's ticket booth. Travelers may use Medellín's metro system or additional buses to reach the terminal Norte bus station.

Medellin to Guatapé can be a day trip as they’re only 2 hours apart by car, but an overnight trip allows more time to explore this colorful town. The small town is a highlight of South America, and visitors enjoy strolling among the colorful buildings or taking a coffee tour.

There are two main bus terminals in Medellin. Terminal Norte (north) is used for Guatapé, and travelers will leave from the ground floor. Many buses leave here for routes throughout South America, so travelers should arrive early to find their gate number.

Driving from Medellin to Guatapé will be faster than public transport, and a Daytrip private transfer is the perfect stress-free solution for this transfer, giving travelers comfortable and convenient transportation with an English-speaking driver and optional sightseeing stops on the way.

Great communication with an actual person! They will take you ANYWHERE, No pre-set routes to choose from!

“Last minute plan change and Daytrip was our last resort so I chatted with them and had an immediate response from a real person, best situation ever. Never used Daytrip before but the reviews were incredible so we took the chance and booked a driver at like 11-12pm and by 7am the next morning when we woke, they found us a driver and the driver had already texed us making contact! Very impressed and will definitely use them again. We went from Dubrovnik, Croatia to Tivat, Montenegro.”

“Andreas did a great job picking us up from Pireaus Cruise Port and taking us to our rental in Spata. The three of us had been on a long cruise and had 9 pieces of luggage. He arrived in an appropriate vehicle and loaded and unloaded all of it. We are very happy with out decision to book with Daytrip.”
