Antioquia - Colombia | Land of the Eternal Spring

D.D. · December 28th, 2008, 03:31 AM

Antioquia is one of the most progresive and important Departments in the country of Colombia. It packs a broad variety of diversity and scenery.
Most of the picks are mine and other colimbian forumers

.

I will start the trip through the Southern region of Antioquia considered to be the coffee region of the department ( my favorite region).
I will start with the town of la Pintada and its surrounding scenery.

This is a broad perspective of the whole southern region, this area is located in a low altitude area so the climate is quite humid and warm. Lovely scenery thou.
Here the peak you see is called los farallones, and the river is the Cauca river.
