Excursion to Guatapé
Begin your adventure on the journey from Medellín to Guatapé, recognized as one of Colombia's most scenic towns. Once we arrive at this delightful Antioquian locale, our experience kicks off with the ascent of the 740 steps of the Piedra del Peñol, a colossal stone monolith that rises 700 meters (2,300 feet) high. The effort is rewarded with magnificent views spanning the Guatapé reservoir.
After enjoying these stunning vistas, we will make our way to the town center to delve into the historical allure of Guatapé. Highlights of this visit include a leisurely stroll down the Street of the Parasols and immersing ourselves in the lively atmosphere of the Plaza de los Zócalos. This excursion highlights similar paths as our tour of Guatapé.
Excursion to Santa Fe de Antioquia
Commencing our journey north from Medellín, we will have a brief pause in San Jeronimo, known as the land of cocoa, before continuing on to Santa Fe de Antioquia. This charming town offers the enjoyable experience of crossing the suspension bridge over the Cauca River, followed by a stroll through its rich historical center, where we will admire various colonial homes dating back to the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries.
Our guided adventure in Santa Fe, part of the Network of Heritage Towns of Colombia, will include stops at notable churches, such as the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception and the Church of Santa Barbara.
Excursion to La Ceja, El Carmen, Marinilla and Rionegro
Leaving Medellín, our expedition takes us through enchanting towns in Antioquia. Our inaugural destination is La Ceja, where the impressive Salto del Tequendamita waterfall plummets 20 meters (65 feet). Following this breathtaking sight, we will head to El Carmen de Viboral, famed for its artisan pottery craftsmanship.
Next, we visit Marinilla, a picturesque town rich in historical significance due to its historical battles. After exploring these themes, we will continue to Rionegro, where we will encounter significant monuments, including the co-cathedral of San Nicolas.
Excursion to a coffee plantation in Santa Elena
This tour commences at a designated meeting location in Medellín, from which we will travel to a coffee plantation in Santa Elena. Here, at a traditional Colombian hacienda, we will learn about the complex process of selecting, roasting, and grinding coffee beans.
Following our exploration of the plantation, an enriching experience awaits as we participate in a delightful Colombian coffee tasting. Engage your senses as we sample a variety of exceptional coffees during this enjoyable moment!
