Review

Concepción is one of the few towns where the architecture remains completely untouched; walking through its cobblestone streets feels like stepping back in time. The colonial homes beautifully preserve their original structure, featuring grand wooden doors and balconies painted in traditional colors, completely unaltered by modern times.

Where is the meeting point? North Terminal, ticket booth number 14 of the company Sotra San Vicente Guatapé La Piedra.
