FAQs

Questions? We've got the answers—but in the end, it's up to you to be a Viking and GO 💪

What is the Callejón Julia Pastusa in Guatapé?

A narrow alley of steps about 300 metres from the town centre, lined with some of the most detailed high-relief zócalos in Guatapé. 4.7 from about 10 reviews.

Who was Julia Pastusa?

A resident of the alley that now carries her name. Visitors describe the corner as hers, and there is a mural in her honour at the top of the steps — which is why the alley reads as a place and not a passage.

Why are the zócalos in the Callejón Julia Pastusa worth seeing?

They are high relief, not painted flat, which is the more demanding version of the craft and less common around the main plaza. Visitors who have walked the rest of the town single this alley out specifically.

Is the Callejón Julia Pastusa free to visit?

Yes. It is a public alley in the town with no gate or ticket, and it can be walked at any hour, though the detail in the panels needs daylight.

How long does the Callejón Julia Pastusa take to see?

A few minutes to walk, longer if you are photographing. Visitors treat it as one stop in a wander through the zócalo streets.

Where is the Callejón Julia Pastusa?

About 300 metres from the Guatapé town centre and 200 from the malecón, so it sits between the plaza and the water. La Piedra is 2.2 km away.
