Parking lot Guatapé | Informal Campsite

March 24th, 2024 by Nomad N Rad

This was a perfect spot to spend the afternoon in Guatape admiring the town etc. We parked in the very furthest spot from the pedestrian ramp into town as we were there during Semana Santa and it was loud in town. So glad we weren’t staying in a hotel there. Our quiet spot in our van was perfect. We were even able to have enough privacy to have a swimsuit shower before bed.
we paid $18,000 COP for the night.
The gates to hike up the piñon open at 7 am! Get there early to avoid the crowds.

The parking lot is super close to town.

It was the last day of november and a lot of fireworks around(which we didnt know) - so we didnt had a quiet night.

Also the parking lot isn‘t guarded at night, but felt safe.

Stayed here for four nights in our little camper. 18000 COP per night. Felt very safe, it’s a 24hr parking lot with guard. Lots of space. 2 min walk from the main square. Guatapé feels like a very secure, small town. Really enjoyed our stay! Would recommend.

Very good sleep and safe. We late our camper in guarded parking.

Big parking lot, easy to reach, cheap and in my opinion best way to get to town.

Very quiet place to spend the night. it's not free during the week anymore, I added a pic with the prices. We paid 18k and could stay until 8pm the next day for that price. No amenities whatsoever though.

Came here as the „Bania Travels“ (other place on iOverlander) is not a campground but a private building with a very small parking space, which was occupied.
So we stayed here for two nights over a weekend. During the day the parking was pretty full, but there is always some space available. Quiet at night. Cost is either per hour or a lump sum per night of 18k. No toilets directly in the parking area, have to walk to the first buildings where they also offer baños.

Spent one night here. The reason to stay here is its proximity to town. It’s a short walk to everything, and the town is really charming to explore. There are a lot of muddy puddles to avoid and trash around. But again, it’s worth it for the location. No bathroom facilities. Closest bathroom I know of is 1,000 COP on the right side as you go to the main square. But it’s only open during business hours. We recommend burgers at El Bacchanal and Koi for ramen and other Asian cuisine. The cinnamon rolls at Zocarolls are famous.

Really easy parking close to town. Stayed one night, ate Indian food at ‘Donde Sam’s’, paid $21000 pesos for 24 hours. Would definitely recommend.

Good location at entrance to town. It’s a parking lot!!! Occasional vehicles entering at night but mostly just the sounds of frogs and other small critters.

we parked here and walked into to town for a late lunch and when we returned we were told that it's 18k per 12 hours and we would need to pay a total of 36 to stay the night. so we left.

Parking muy amplio a la entrada de la ciudad para cualquier tipo de vehículo. estamos a unas decenas de metros del centro de la ciudad. sin instalaciones, estacionamiento iluminado, guardia y seguro. pagamos 21000 cop por 24 horas. Noche muy tranquila, sin ruidos.

Flat parking and quiet. We found water and electricity near the small white house (sanitary) is bowling entrance, a little in height. The price is 18000cop for the motorhome to spend the night. On the other hand, the morning guard have asked us to leave because he says it was forbidden to stay at night while the evening guard had allowed us to stay. So I think it must be discreet. Parking really well located at the entrance to the city

Huge gravel parking lot with gate. Our rig was a "bus" so we had to pay 18.000$ on a midweek day. Quit & lovely temperatures during the night.

Ce parking n est plus gratuit en semaine...

We stayed 3 nights here in à camper truck. Prince is now 18000 cop per night. Not the most wonderful place we have seen but it is very convenient , right in the city ans very quiet.

It seems weekdays are no longer free. We were here on a tuesday (monday was holiday) and paid 15000 COP/night. Quiet.

Both entries here mean the same parking lot. We have been here on a holiday, so big fiesta in the town but the night was surprisingly quite. Paid 15 k COP. Perfect for a visit of the cute and colorful village. Many restaurants near by and free WIFI at the plaza.

Stayed here for 2 nights. Its totally safe and a 2 minute walk to town. Town is great and worth a stop for a couple days.

November 6th, 2017 by johnandmandi

We paid 6,000 to park overnight. No facilities and the parking lot attendant left around 7pm.

October 13th, 2017 by Tucks' Truck

Still 15K per night. Guard wasn't around over-night, but it didn't concern us; it seems a safe enough place. Convenient for town and peaceful over-night. No facilities.

Very big parking lot, with a lot of lights. Good for one night. 2 minutes walk to the beautiful towncenter of Guatape

Guarded and no free parking the weekend, but free and non guarded (but safe) from monday to friday. We paid 5000p for the sunday afternoon and it was ok to stay overnight. At 100m from the zocalo and perfect for visiting the village.
We finally stay 2 nights. Quiet even if we hear a lot of frogs in the night ! In the morning, 3 horses spent some time near us and then go away, alone !
