Oriente Antioqueño Tour

No trip to Antioquia is complete without at least a day spent wandering through the colourful streets of Colombia's most colourful town - and as it's only a short bus ride from Medellin, there's no reason to miss it! Here's our guide on how to make the most of your time in this great little pueblo, including where to eat, what to see and things to do in Guatapé.

Tour the outskirts of Medellin

La Ceja del Tambo, often called simply La Ceja, is a town and municipality in the Antioquia Department of Colombia. It is part of the subregion of Eastern Antioquia. La Ceja borders the Rionegro and Carmen de Viboral municipalities to the north, La Unión to the east, and Montebello and Retiro to the west. It is located approximately 41 kilometers from Medellín, one of the main cities of the department. The town is known for being well-connected with other towns and municipalities in Antioquia through its extensive roads and highways, including the Medellin-Bogota highway, the Las Palmas roads, and the Medellín Santa Elena road. It also has a dirt road that leads to the Mesopotamia neighborhood of La Unión.

We'd definitely recommend you spend a few hours wandering around the streets with a camera in hand looking at some of the creations, which traditionally tell the story or heritage of the family or business who own the building. Stubborn donkeys, inquisitive sheep and priests seemed to be the most common emblem however there were some designs with dragons, giraffes and zebras - go figure.
