Jardín has so much to offer far beyond the beauty of the pueblo itself and its people. I'll be delighted to show you the best of Jardin and surroundings. We'll focus on visiting a coffee farm and trail riding to the Splendor Cave Waterfall but depending on availability, we'll also visit a sugar cane mill and a coffee mill or both. |

| Due to the distance to this amazing destination (2. 5 hours each way), this tour requires an early pick-up, hopefully no later than 6:30 am. After driving though the Southwest main road, we finally make it to Jardín's Alto de las Flores about 2. 5 to 3 hours later. We start our activities with the horseback ride to Splendor Cave. It takes about 1 hour to get to the waterfall proximity and then requires a high effort hike to make it by foot to the actual waterfall. After enjoying the Splendor Cave we usually have a traditional lunch at a farmers house with a view to the valley. Then comes the sugar-cane mill, the coffee farm and a brief stroll around the town including an optional coffee time at the main plaza before returning to Medellin. |
