6Guatapé, Colombia

This rainbow-colored town, a few hours east of Medellin, Colombia, couldn’t be more camera-ready. The steep, cobbled streets here are flanked by tiny wooden houses decorated with myriad bright colors and pretty frescoes.

Seemingly, everything is painted, from stairs and balconies to walls and window frames, ensuring there is a photo opportunity around every corner. Wander the streets and fuel up before climbing the 659 steps up the towering Rock of Guatapé for a panoramic view over the surrounding lakes and islets.
