Day 1: Medellin
First, visit Medellin downtown. I recommend going with a guide to understanding the city’s complex history. Finish the day with a cable car ride to enjoy the incredible views.

Day 2: Guatapé
Guatapé is a colonial village known for its enormous and unusual monolith. You can climb the 750 steps to reach the top. It’s easy to go alone, but a private tour will allow you to pair it with another activity.

Day 3: Rafting
Beautiful rivers run through the Antioquia mountains. Rafting in the heart of these impressive landscapes is an incredible experience. You will have to get up early 😉

Day 4: Jardín
At the end of the morning, go by bus to the south terminal to go to Jardín (4h). It is a colonial village surrounded by coffee fields, with some delicious restaurants. Go see the famous Andean Cock-of-the-rock birds around 5 pm.

Day 5: Waterfalls
Several beautiful waterfalls surround Jardín. You can decide to hike, ride a horse, take a jeep and even do some canyoning. Our local partner offers many activities.
