Medellin x Guatape

Feb 15, 2025 to Feb 19, 2025
Medellin, Colombia
Hey Beauties,
 
This coming winter we'll be heading to the exotic and historically rich city of Medellin, located in Colombia. Not a beach getaway but our hotel's scenic and breathtaking rooftop pool views will make up for it (plus, the weather in Medellin during February is typically 80+)! In addition, we'll be taking a day trip to one of the most colorful towns in the world known as Guatape.  Guatape is a blend of natural beauty, cultural richness, and recreational opportunities, making it a must-visit destination in Colombia. This immersive excursion includes a boat ride along the Peñol-Guatape Reservoir and also features a gastronomic experience, so be sure to pack your appetite.
 
This will be an exciting adventure and I hope you'll be joining the crew in February!
