Travel by comfortable 4x4 with your personal English-speaking guide: from your hotel, you first travel to one of Santa Fe de Antioquia’s most iconic attractions, the Puente del Occidente, or the Old Hanging Bridge. It is a remarkable testament to engineering prowess and architectural beauty, was designed by Jose Maria Villa in the 19th century and completed in 1887. The bridge played a vital role in connecting Santa Fe de Antioquia to Medellín and other parts of the region, it facilitated trade and communication in the area during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Walking across the bridge provides breathtaking panoramic views of the Cauca River and the surrounding countryside.

Wander through the town's well-preserved architecture and absorb the atmosphere of a bygone era.
