Highlights
  • Bolombolo - Our journey begins with a 60-minute drive to the stunning Southwest region of Medellín, heading towards the Andes mountains. Along the way, we’ll pass through breathtaking landscapes, farmlands, ranches, and rivers until we reach our first stop for a brief break in Bolombolo Town.

Situated at an altitude of 450 meters above sea level, Bolombolo is a warm and humid town, intersected by Colombia’s second-largest river, the Cauca River. This quaint town is renowned for its famous cheese breads. We’ll take a short break here to savor these delightful treats fresh from the oven, made with local ingredients.

We’ll then continue our journey through diverse scenery, shapes, and colors towards the enchanting town of Jardín.

  • Andes - Here, we’ll embark on a unique Colombian adventure, taking a scenic drive in a Willy’s Jeep to a breathtaking and extraordinary waterfall, which is divided into five cascades, located between the towns of Andes and Jardín. We’ll navigate off-road paths, passing by towering lush green mountains, picturesque fields, and coffee plantations, all teeming with flowers, trees, birds, and cows, creating a fairy tale-like setting surrounded by magical and colorful landscapes.

Our first stop will be at a coffee farm, where we’ll enjoy a delicious cup of coffee before setting off on a 20-minute hike into the open forest. Here, we’ll discover the most incredible waterfall in Antioquia, hidden among jungles and enormous rocks. We’ll relax to the peaceful sound of falling water, and if you wish, you can take a refreshing dip to rejuvenate your energy—it feels amazing.

Before reaching the waterfall, we’ll ascend a bit higher to take in the full magnificence of the falls, surrounded by lush nature and giant trees!

  • Jardín - Finally, we’ll arrive at the most beautiful town in Antioquia, Jardín, which means ‘Garden’ in Spanish. The first explorers named it this when they discovered such a magical place, epitomizing natural beauty and charm.

As the most beautiful town in all of Antioquia, Jardín is a true treasure trove of natural wonders. The town is like a giant garden, brimming with colorful flowers, trees, birds, and butterflies. The surrounding mountains, coffee plantations, and vibrant town square are a visual delight. The stunning church, local culture, and friendly people add to the fairy tale-like ambiance.

We’ll explore the picturesque town of Jardín, visiting its main square, streets, and plazas to discover the natural beauty, culture, and charm that make it a must-see destination.

  • La Argelia Restaurante - Truchera - Molienda - Experience the tradition of Jardín by visiting the local trout farms. Here, farmers raise delicious, fresh trout in mountain-fed rivers. We’ll visit the best farm in Jardín and enjoy a delicious lunch while taking in the beautiful landscapes and lush natural surroundings.

If you don’t like fish, no worries—there are other delicious options as well!

Garden of Delights, Colombia - Antioquia - A town located in the department of Antioquia, just 3 hours from Medellín, you can arrive at the Enrique Olaya Herrera airport and when you leave you find the terminal, the ticket costs $45,000 on a normal bus and $45,000 VIP, I recommend it. This beautiful town has many options, such as going along its paths and trails, bordering the town and visiting its waterfalls and an ancient cave, the tour can last two hours. The other option is to go to Cerro de la Cruz and have a delicious garden coffee and see the landscape, it is unmissable. Being in the town and walking through its streets is charming, its colorful houses look, both inside and out, from a period film. To go eat something quick, go to Pelusita's, what a kind lady, she sells fast food and gives you some pickles that she prepares and they are unmissable. Macanas coffee, another recommendation ✅

Jardín is truly magical! - This trip was nothing short of incredible from start to finish. Our guide Guillermo (Memo) was wonderfully funny and helpful. The guides for this company have made our experiences top notch. From the cheesy breads to the exclusive coffee farm tour to the beautiful streets of Jardín, it was magic. I highly recommend this trip for anyone wanting to explore more of the state of Antioquia where Medellin is located. It is a full day adventure but worth every minute.

Great Day Oout - Visited Jardin and it's surrounding areas with the excellent guide Esteban. The trip to Jardin was the highlight of our stay in Medellin. Fantastic old town and great walk to waterfalls and caves. The cable car ride was an experience! Even got searched by the Colombian Army on the way home!

Far exceeded expectations - This was my first trip to Colombia. I was very skeptical about safety and privacy but once I communicated with Daniel everything changed. I was able to schedule transportation (1) To and From the airport in a clean spacious, A/C van for a group of 5. Also,(2) Private tours to Jardín (including an overnight stay), Guatape and Comuna 13 with a private bilingual guide and a safe driver. The service was VIP! Jardín started with a delicious meal and a beverage. At all times Carlos kept us informed of the surrounding areas and points of interest. Once we made it to Jardin, we switched vehicles to a Jeep (very fun ride) and hiked a waterfall with the guide leading the way. We also visited a very interesting coffee farm where we learned everything about coffee. The next day we tour Jardin and enjoyed another fun adventure called the Splendor Cave. Throughout the days Carlos never left our site which was a blessing because it was a group of 5 woman. I highly recommend Daniel and his team. If you have any questions, I’ll gladly assist! Safe Travels!
