The “Rock of Guatapé Colombia's Famous Staircase
iu


"Sometimes a land formation is so striking, that it forms the backbone of an entire universe of religious beliefs, rituals, cultural practices and stories. We’ve seen it with Niagara Falls, the stunning Ha Long Bay and Mount Everest. However, nestled on the banks of the Peñol reservoir in Colombia, El Peñón de Guatapé (or the “Rock of Guatapé”) is another little-known natural wonder, that has quietly been influencing the cultural and religious identities of local communities for thousands of years. In this article, we take a closer look at this bizarre rocky monolith, its recently built winding staircase to the heavens, and its turbulent and fascinating local history."
