The River House Experience combines history, nature, tranquility, hiking, road trip, and fun. An important part of the local 'paisa' lifestyle is the 'finca' culture, or country houses, being in nature, disconnecting from the city noise, enjoying a drink and some great food, listening to the birds singing. This region also shows us great colonial heritage which is not easy to find anymore in modern-day Colombia. The trip is completely private and customized, travelers can modify the tour as they like. Our transportation is a comfortable SUV with AC. Colombia Bliss also provides our guests a personalized drone footage of the trip, so visitors will have this unforgettable memory recorded.
We pick up travelers wherever they want at the agreed time, which suits best our clients.
We cross the bridge walking, heading up to the view point, then taking tuk tuks to travel to Santa Fé de Antioquia old town. The Old Hanging Bridge, which is a remarkable testament to engineering prowess and architectural beauty, built in the late 19th century, crossing the Cauca river.
We visit Santa Fe de Antioquia, founded in 1541, was once the capital of Antioquia before Medellín assumed that role. This colonial town is a living museum, with cobblestone streets, whitewashed buildings adorned with wooden balconies, and a picturesque main square. Its rich history is palpable as you stroll through its well-preserved streets, lined with centuries-old churches, museums, and charming plazas. We walk around, have lunch, coffee, then we head back to the bridge where we left the car, and continue our journey.
We arrive to Olaya, historical small village built by the Spanish conquerors in 1773. We have a short walk, have a nice fruit juice, and then we drive to the River House, where we spend the night.
The program for day 2 is: breakfast at the house, chilling in the pool, short hike to the river.
We check out Vina Sicilia, the vineyard next door at the riverbank, and have a wine tour there. In the afternoon we travel back to Medellín.
