Our route will take us through the longest tunnel in South America, offering a unique experience as we make our way to one of the most picturesque regions in Antioquia. The bustling cityscape will gradually give way to charming farms surrounded by the grandeur of the Andes mountains, this transition is truly breathtaking, immersing us in a entirely different world.
