Utilities
The utilities in Guatapé have been developed for 3,000 residents. However, the current population is 9,000 and the area is usually visited by at least 20,000 tourists per day. This leads to problems with the utilities, especially on weekends and public holidays.
An additional problem is that the aqueduct that provides the water supply has broken.
The municipality of Guatapé currently has too few financial resources to put the level of facilities in order.
