San Rafael

Guatapé and San Rafael:

Guatapé and San Rafael are two of Colombia's more attractive tourist and resort destinations.    One look at either Antioquian town and it's clear to see why:  Guatapé is a vibrant, colorful, lively little pueblo that attracts tourists from around the world.  Cristalina Cove Estates is located just a twenty five minute drive from Guatapé, on the area's winding, hilly country road, and is a go-to weekend destination for those of nearby Medellin that are "in the know" and looking to be surrounded by nature in its most-pristine form.  More specifically, Cristalina Cove Estates is located in between Guatapé and San Rafael.

 

Reasons to visit Guatapé and San Rafael

Guatapé and San Rafael are located in Antioquia, a state renowned across the world as the Land of Perpetual Spring.   The pristine nature of San Rafael is flanked by the astonishing beauty of the famed Embalse de Guatapé and the much-traveled El Penon de Guatapé.  Whether you decide to be out and about with the area's tourists, or prefer to backstreet with the towns' locals, Guatapé and San Rafael have an abundance to offer to the curious, kind expat.  Come find yourself in this relaxed lifestyle, and rediscover the awe you lost so long ago amidst the endless traffic jams, unending work weeks, and the general civic ugliness and lack of civility that pervades our existence in western cultures.
