We did this tour on a friday before our last weekend in Medellín and had a spectacular day outside of the city. As we did not have time to travel to Cartagena the idea was to check out some colonial architecture close to Medellín. We went with Pablo who was very knowledgeable and well prepared. They picked us up after breakfast and it took about 1,5 hours to reach the village. As it is very hot there, please don't forget sunblocker and hats. Thank God the A/C was perfect and our driver knew the area pretty well to avoid long walks in the sun. Pablo walked with us through the colonial part where we learned a lot of hard facts combined with funny anecdotes of colonial history. Around midday he took us to a charming colonial restaurant to eat and pass the heat for a while. After lunch we met a local jewelry artist who explained to us in detail the technique Santa Fé is famous for. She uses recycled gold and silver but works the same technique as 500 years ago, a pretty outstanding detail I would say. Before heading back to Medellín we visited the famous Cauca bridge and had a cold beer in the shade observing this impressive river. To sum up, if you are looking for a combination of culture and landscapes that town is awesome and you will for sure not meet a lot of foreigners within the week. Thanks Palenque and Pablo, highly recommended.
