Medellin: Santa Fe de Antioquia Guided Day Trip

Discover Santa Fé de Antioquia, a historic gem just 55 km from Medellín. Explore colonial architecture, iconic parks, the Puente Colgante, and local culture with expert guides.
We will start our journey departing from Medellín to the west at the previously indicated times. We will enter the picturesque sub-region of Western Antioquia through the impressive Fernando Gomez Martinez Tunnel. This tunnel, with a length of 4.6 kilometers, offers a subway journey that connects Medellín with Santa Fé de Antioquia. Its construction represented an outstanding advance in the region's road infrastructure and facilitated access between these two important cities in the region.

We will advance along the route to find the first attraction, the majestic Western Suspension Bridge over the Cauca River, an iconic engineering work built between 1887 and 1895, today recognized as a National Monument. This bridge represents a historical and architectural landmark that has stood the test of time.

We will continue our tour to Santa Fé de Antioquia, known as the mother city and “Cuna de la Raza Paisa” (Cradle of the Paisa Race). Founded in 1541, this city was the capital of the Province of Antioquia for 242 years until 1826. We will delve into its colonial architecture admiring its eight churches and numerous houses dating from the sixteenth, seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Cobblestone streets will lead us through a journey through time, where every corner tells a story of Antioquia's rich tradition.
On the walking tour through Santa Fe de Antioquia, we will visit emblematic places such as the Simon Bolivar Main Park, adorned with ceibas and mamoncillos, offering an oasis of shade and social gathering between locals and visitors. The Plazuela Nuestra Señora del Carmen and the Plaza Jesús Nazareno invite us to explore more fragments of Antioquian chronicles, recognized as national historical heritage since 1960. There, among local handicrafts and typical fruits, you can breathe the living essence of the Paisa culture.

Finally, the Juan del Corral Museum will welcome us with its vast historical collection, allowing us to delve into the details and stories that shaped the destiny of this region. We will conclude our day with a delicious lunch, savoring the best of Antioquian gastronomy, before returning to Medellín.
