You arrive onto a shaded plaza where color and wood smoke meet—bright shops ring the main park, church bells mark the hour, and the air carries the distant hum of a workshop still forging rails by hand. Jericó sits on a steep slope of the Western Andes; the town’s compact streets climb toward Cristo Rey, which rewards the ascent with broad views over patchwork coffee farms and rippling ridgelines.

You arrive onto a shaded plaza where color and wood smoke meet—bright shops ring the main park, church bells mark the hour, and the air carries the distant hum of a workshop still forging rails by hand. Jericó sits on a steep slope of the Western Andes; the town’s compact streets climb toward Cristo Rey, which rewards the ascent with broad views over patchwork coffee farms and rippling ridgelines.
Founded during Antioquia’s expansion in the 19th century, Jericó is a living page of Paisa culture: artisan woodworkers, a small rail-manufacturing plant that helped local industry, and Casa Natal de Santa Laura, the birthplace of Colombia’s first canonized saint. Geology here is Andean—steep, folded hills of volcanic and sedimentary rock—with narrow valleys carrying rivers that shape the farmland below.
The day tour pairs a cultural walk—cathedral, commerce street, MAJA music and furniture exhibits, and the Cristo Rey viewpoint—with an afternoon at Finca Bonnavista: a private estate, poolside barbecue, and cocktails. Optional coffee stops are available for those curious about local processing and cupping.
Practical guidance: wear sturdy shoes for uneven cobbles and light trails, and bring a light rain layer—weather shifts quickly at this elevation (about 1,900–2,000 m). Bring local currency for crafts and small vendors. Expect mostly easy walking with short uphill sections; the finca portion is relaxed with swimming and shade. Travelers can comfortably do this as a full-day trip from Medellín, returning by late evening after a mix of history, hands-on craft visits, and a slow, social finish by the pool.
No—breakfast, lunch (barbecue), snacks and a welcome cocktail at the finca are included, though extra purchases at shops are cash-based.
The coffee tour is optional and can be requested—confirm at booking if you want a hands-on farm visit or cupping session.
The town center is stroller-accessible in many areas, but cobblestones and steps at some viewpoints may be challenging—notify your operator about mobility needs.
Clearer views arrive during drier months, but the finca experience is enjoyable year-round; plan rain gear during the wet season.
