Nature Retreat into the Coffee Fields

The incredible Mountains of the Southwest of Antioquia: Jardín

Colombia's biodiversity can be equivalent to 20% of the planet's total

The Coffee landscape in Colombia has been declared as World heritage by the UNESCO since 2011. The exuberant region of Southwest Antioquia is a magical landscape full of cultural richness as well as biodiversity. In this adventure we will take you deep inside this wonderful area full of traditions and wilderness

We will be travelling south of Medellin towards Jardín, a small and typical colonial town deep inside the coffee area that also are part of the national network of Patrimonial Towns of Colombia, Jardín will be our final destination and HQ. Our journey will cover a very scenic road full of beautiful views of the green and astonishing mountains of the southwest Antioquia. Jardín is located 160Kms away from Medellín. This trip normally takes around 3 hours’ strait, due to the winding road, but it could take a bit longer if we engage in different stops on the way, to take pictures or trying exotic fruit. During our 5-day trip, we will stay in a cosy yet lively hotel at Jardín. Jardín is nestled into the very mountainous area of southwest Antioquia. It´s 1850Mts above sea level with an average temperature between 16 C° to 28 C° and a medium-high humidity level.

We are going to have the chance there to walk around this beautiful town, interact with the people, also to see and learn more about the coffee process in a small coffee plantation that will include a horseback riding tour through the coffee fields, and in the end to understand from the hands of locals, why the Colombian Coffee is one of the best of the world. We will do as well one birdwatching hiking tour to learn and enjoy the amazing biodiversity of the mountain forest of the Andes.

Hiking, MTB, Canyoning, Horseback riding, taking a shower in a river, and using the local ¨Chivas¨ (Colourful old truck adapted as a bus), will be some of the activities that are available, to ensure an amazing journey. We want to encourage an immersion trip in which you will have the chance to interact with the locals and their traditions, as well as to see first-hand the amazing nature that surrounds this magical region
