Day trip from Antioquia, Antioquia
Jardín — The Most Beautiful Town in Antioquia
Jardín is regularly voted Antioquia's most beautiful small town — a perfect Andean village surrounded by coffee-planted mountains, with a stunning neo-Gothic basilica, flower-draped colonial balconies, and a lively main plaza. The surrounding mountains offer the Cueva del Esplendor waterfall cave, canyon rappelling, and coffee farm tours.
