Day 1:

We'll arrive in the Manrique neighborhood, stroll down Gardel Street, and enter Café Alazca, a hub for high-caliber entertainment. You'll also visit another place steeped in history: a city within a city. There, you'll hear the story of the Moravia neighborhood, a place that hasn't been easy, but whose people have persevered. It's a neighborhood brimming with hope, culture, gastronomy, and music, where you can even learn to dance to various musical styles.

Day 2:

In Santa Fe de Antioquia, under the shade of the trees, you can enjoy the town's unhurried pace. Just steps from the main square is the Juan del Corral Museum, a space that safeguards the region's colonial history. Another great treasure is the art of filigree, in which artisans transform silver threads into delicate pieces of jewelry. To conclude the tour, we'll head to the Western Bridge. Crossing it on foot is a fascinating experience, with spectacular views of the Cauca River and the surrounding mountain landscape.  

Day 3:

Jericó has a long history of leatherwork, and you'll learn about the process of making a carriel (a traditional leather satchel) in a saddlery workshop. Afterward, you can choose which one you'll take home as a souvenir. This isn't just any souvenir; it's the Jericó carriel, a symbol of the region's rich muleteer tradition. You'll also visit the botanical garden, a stunning place to relax and observe, with minimal effort, some of the many species of birds and butterflies that flit about..  

Day 4:

Once in Jardín, very early in the morning, around 5:00 am, you'll set out in search of the Andean cock-of-the-rock, an exotic bird that lives in the mountain forests. Then you'll participate in the arepa festival, where you'll have breakfast and experience the local culture firsthand. Afterward, you'll head to the Cave of Splendor, where you can connect with nature, learn about the diverse habitats, and discover how to care for them. During the tour, you'll have the opportunity to leave your mark and plant a tree. In the afternoon, you'll return to town to check out and then fly back to Medellín.  

Day 5:

We'll take the road to the town of Fredonia and arrive at a coffee farm with over 100 years of tradition. We'll explore the farm along a path that leads to a stream, allowing us to enjoy nature. You'll have the opportunity to plant a coffee tree, which you can then adopt if you wish. Enjoy a diverse coffee tasting, followed by a meal of hearty sancocho prepared by local farmers.
