Western Antioquia, The Other Side

Western Antioquia, The Other Side

Leave Medellín and head into Guatepé to visit the enormous rock –possibly a meteorite due to its size– at el Peñón. Visit the picturesque village of Guatepé where all houses are painted in pastel colors. Then, satisfy your sweet tooth in San Antonio de Pereira, a town known for its incredible confectionery.

The tour continues to Rio Negro to visit San Nicolas Cathedral, Convention Center and Religious Art Museum. Visit another rural community in Carmen del Vivoral, famous for its ceramics, particularly vases and dishes. El Retiro, just a bit further is a town renowned for its wooden furniture. Return to Medellín passing by Llanogrande, a major flower-growing region and where the highway is lined-up with hydrangea, sunflowers and many others.
