Jardín

A flower-draped coffee town UN Tourism counts among the world's prettiest

Relaxed$$ day-trip coffee colonial overnight birding

Jardín is a colonial coffee town in southwest Antioquia with colorful balconies, a grand basilica and green mountains all around. UN Tourism named it one of the best tourism villages in 2024, and it is known for birding, hikes and coffee farm visits. It is a long drive, so many visitors stay overnight.

Why we love it

  • Coffee on the main plaza by the basilica
  • Visit a coffee farm or go birdwatching
  • Hike to nearby waterfalls and viewpoints

Enjoy it safely

A relaxed, welcoming town; the main risk is the long mountain drive, so travel by day with a reputable bus or driver.
