This is a nearly smooth large rock.

The rock formation of the town of Guatapé from about 70 million years ago, with two-thirds of the height of the rock lying below the ground, the exposed part more than 200 meters high sprouted from the surrounding plain. One can see from the countryside a few kilometers away.

This is a large, almost smooth rock, with only one crack running from the top to the bottom of the foot, on one of the rock's surfaces. Through this crack, a staircase of 649 steps was built.

On the top of this rock, another small fence is built inside an area with display stands, a souvenir shop and an open platform with beautiful views for people to see. Breathtaking views around.
