Antioquia is the second important department in Colombia. Its capital is Medellín, a city of contrast surrounded by mountains






The river on Christmas is decorated with bright lights and creative designs 
Medellín has modern transport systems (Metrocable) located in complex areas of the city. 
Medellín metro is a symbol of prosperity and development. It goes across the city from south to north.
A 2 hours by car takes you to  municipalities of El peñol and Guatape.

There is located and amazing rock, called, l"a piedrade l Peñon"

You can take the stair inside the rock and after 740 steps 

You can see this amazing view. The lake is artificial and was created in by the local energy company (EMP) to produce electricity between 1972 and 1979. A small town (el Peñol) was flooded and its inhabitants relocated.

In Montenegro is quite easy to see people selling Arepas in a corner. This is a traditional dish of the region.



In the coffee park, you will know everything about coffee. How it is produced, sown, what are the different coffee species, the coffee culture and more.

Located in Zipaquira, the Salt cathedral is an amazing place to visit. It was created in 1987 inside an active salt mine. Here many artists represented the catholic faith and each step of the "viacrucis" (Jesus crucifixion) combining lights and sculptures.
