Description:
Santa Fe de Antioquia is a beautiful colonial town next to the Cauca river, at less than 2 hours from Medellin on the road to Turbo. In 2006 a tunnel was opened on this road, increasing the amount of weekend tourists.
The region around it is very pretty too, and the climate is warmer than Medellin itself. In the historic center, streets are cobblestoned, the colonial houses are painted in pretty colors. It's perhaps not as picture-perfect as Villa De Leyva, but close.
It is the oldest town in the region, founded in 1541. In 1548 it became the capital of Antioquia, in 1826 Medellin took over as capital. Originally a gold mining town, the local economy is now based on agriculture and tourism. In 1960 it was declared a national monument.
In Santa Fe, you can rent horses to explore the area around it, or just go for walks. There are a bunch of churches and museums to visit too, including the Iglesia de Santa Barbara, the Museo del Corral and the Museo de Arte Religioso. The church on the main square is a cathedral.
