Itinerary

1. The Puente de Occidente was built in 1895, so named because it is located in western Antioquia, is a Colombian suspension hanging bridge that connects the towns of Olaya and Santa Fe de Antioquia, to the east and west of the Cauca River, respectively. At the time it was considered the seventh most important suspension bridge in the world. Puente de Occidente was the longest of its kind in the entire subcontinent, and that is why historically and culturally it has been so important, being at the time a cornerstone in the development of the region and the country. It was declared a National Monument of Colombia on November 26, 1978. Translated with (free version)

2. Santa Fe de Antioquia is a Colombian town that holds the most important historical treasures of the colonial and republican period in the department of Antioquia. Santa Fe de Antioquia was founded in 1541 and for more than two centuries was one of the main centers of economic and urban development in the region. This is attested by its architecture: spacious colonial-style houses with mostly white facades, double-height buildings with balconies and carved wooden doors. This is unique opportunity to explore a colonial town being away from crowds or touristy sites.

3. Located in the heart of Santa Fe de Antioquia, the Mariscal Robledo Hotel is the 4th oldest in Colombia and has one of the most complete and important private libraries in the region. This is the place where we have a typical lunch. Along the way we will get to see these antique buildings, roads, balconies and colorful spaces that adorn our region. Its corridors with objects of conversation allow guests to remember memorable times, dream in the comfortable rooms with exclusive design, contemplate the beauty of the tropical nature in the beautiful garden and enjoy the tranquility by the pool.

About Medellín

Medellín is Colombia's spring-like city in the Andes, known for its cable cars, vibrant neighbourhoods and remarkable story of transformation.

The city fills a long Andean valley, with brick houses climbing the slopes and a climate mild enough to earn it the name City of Eternal Spring. Its metro and Metrocable cable cars link hillside communities to the centre and give sweeping views on the ride up toward the forests of Parque Arví.

Top-ranked sights in Medellín: Guatapé (Pueblo de Zócalos), Plaza Botero, Pueblito Paisa .
