Jardín: the town and around
Fifteen minutes' walk away is one of Antioquia's prettiest towns. These are ideas for exploring the region — not tours run by the house — with sources so you can plan.
Not a Charco Corazón tour — these are regional ideas run by independent operators.
Parque El Libertador and the Basilica
The main square, with its painted chairs and cafés, and the neo-Gothic stone basilica — together a National Monument, per Wikivoyage.
Cock-of-the-rock reserve
A viewing platform in town devoted to Jardín's emblem bird. Wikivoyage advises going at dawn.
Cueva del Esplendor
A waterfall pouring through a hole in a cave roof. You reach it on a guided hike arranged in town; length and price depend on the operator.
Cascada La Escalera
A chain of falls; some operators offer abseiling, according to Hostelworld.
La Garrucha
A historic cable car across the valley, with views over town.
Coffee country
Jardín lives on coffee: farms around town offer bean-to-cup tours, per Wikivoyage.
Keep exploring
