8 reviewed

The whitewashed heritage towns are the quiet, truer side of a paisa trip.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 70 reviews · 12 to 13 hours (approx.) · from $212Our pick

Spend a full day from Medellín to a coffee finca and Jardin in the Andes, with unlimited coffee, hands-on picking, and lunch included.

“This trip was very well organized. We left on a Sunday, and the guides suggested we leave earlier to Jardin so we can make it back before rush hour. Esteban is very knowledgeable, and well placed as a tour guide given his history in and around the area. He genuinely enjoys taking care of others, and making them feel like family. The tour was unexpected and we have changed our view on coffee and the production process forever. Getting to see Jardin was a real treat too, this town is like out of a history book. Simply beautiful”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 43 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $232

Private Jardin coffee day trip from Medellín with hotel pickup, farm visits, roasting stop, cable car views, and time in town.

“The Coffee Tour was OK. Arley the owner of ranch doesn't speak very good English and I was surprised when he told me to spend twenty minutes picking coffee beans for him. Isn't that his job? I don't drink coffee so the many steps to make coffee wasn't interesting to me. But the city is Jardín was very interesting. There wasn't much noisy traffic like in Santa Fe so it did feel like going back in time. The church was incredible and it was hard to believe it was in that tiny town. What was most interesting to me were the many small towns Fabio (my tour guide) passed through.…”

“This is an amazing tour and I highly recommend it. Totally different from the common Guatapé, Communa 13 and Pablo Escobar tours. It’s definitely worth every penny. Our tour guide (Erika) was very knowledgeable and treated us like family the entire time. We learned so much about Santa Fe and the Western Bridge. Erika recommended a great coffee shop and restaurant for lunch and it did not disappoint. She also took us to many historic sites, museums and shops. Overall we had a wonderful time and having Erika as our guide was a complete blessing.”

6.From Medellín: Jardín, Andes, and Hispania Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 19 reviews · 13 hours · from $70Best value

Day trip from Medellín to Jardín, Hispania & Andes: coffee tastings, colonial streets, Basilica views, and a classic Antioquia lunch.

“Wonderful! Lovely scenery and great entertainment. Beautiful villages and towns. Roads there and back were not in great condition but it was worth the trip. We took extra activity in local bus called Chiva (it can be in jeep, tuk-tuk or on a horse) and had wonderful time going in and around Jardin. It may not be for individuals or couples due to cost but well worth it if in a larger group. Thanks to Jhon the guide and Leo the driver and also Juan the Chiva driver for lovely experience.”
