Once I saw El Peñón from a distance, I could not get my eyes off this gigantic rock formation defining the surrounding landscape; the rock was begging to be climbed.
I had to take a buseta and a shared taxi from Rionegro to reach El Peñol, the small town in the Antioquia district. Once there, I waited at the busy bus stand, watching men and boys play games and listening to the shouting men desperately trying to find passengers for their buses. Soon, I could get into the back of a jeep and was on my way to that big stone. All the while, I was trying to get my first glimpse of the rock, and once I did, I could not take my eyes off it. In the middle of a friendly landscape with rolling hills, curving roads and small bodies of water, El Peñón as it is correctly called, seems like an alien addition to the environment it stands in. It reminded me of the Sugar Loaf mountain in Rio de Janeiro, although El Peñón is smaller.
