Its a colourful and fun small town. Lots of tourist are there. Especially lunch time. Probably a couple of hours are enough to walk around. I recommmend to go early as possible as you can, before it gets busy. All are walking distance and we can see lots of drawing on the wall of the local houses. The drawings are variety, such as their life, nature, sceanary and culture, etc. I believe children are also able to enjoy there. It is very rare to see these kind of town. And there are lots of restaurants and cafe to enjoy. If you are going back to Medellin on the day, it would be better to book a bus ticket before start walking.. #guatape
