ITINERARY:   We’ll explore part of Antioquia’s history, starting at Titiribí Park. Just a few steps away is City Hall, an architectural gem designed by Belgian architect Agustín Goovaerts. The tour continues to the Circo Teatro, one of the city’s main cultural landmarks, where the artistic and social life of the mining boom era is brought to life. Afterward, you’ll immerse yourself in the local cuisine, and in the afternoon, we’ll head to the Sitio Viejo neighborhood—a key location for understanding the connection to 19th-century mining and its impact on the accumulation of capital that drove Medellín’s industrialization in the 20th century. Finally, we’ll stop at natural lookouts to take in the scenery before heading back to Medellín, bringing to a close a unique experience that combines history, architecture, mining, and culture..

YOU'LL EXPERIENCE:  Titiribí is home to one of Antioquia’s most significant histories: industrial-scale gold mining, an activity that spurred investment, infrastructure, and production processes that shaped Medellín’s industrialization in the early 20th century. This tour connects visitors with the origins of an economic transformation that shaped the future of the city and the department. On this tour to Titiribí from Medellín, you’ll discover one of the most important towns in southwestern Antioquia and a quiet driving force behind the region’s economic development..
