One of our favorite travel bloggers, Medellin Guru, highlights our favorite town near Medellin in a wonderful way. If you are visiting Santa Fe de Antioquia, we highly recommend you review this article written in 2016, that still perfectly depicts this historical town.

It certainly didn’t sound like it would have the same adventurous selection of activities that you would find in a day trip to Guatapé. Nor did it sound like it would have the charm of a weekend excursion to Jardin.

Nonetheless, I was desperate for a change of scenery. So, I still went. What I encountered surprised me.

The nationally historical pueblo of Santa Fe de Antioquia, which is only a short 50 miles from Medellín, provides the perfect ‘escape the city’ day trip from Medellín. And it turns out there is more to do there than look at churches. Although, I would highly recommend that too!
