Things to Do in Tierra Paisa

+ Add a Photo

By Richard McColl

What’s not to do? The Tierra Paisa could stand alone as a tourist destination in its own right. There is everything from the colonial wonders of pristine villages to sites of pre-Colombian interest. Beaches in the north around Apartado and Turbo and jungles in the west as you reach the Choco are complimented by destinations that offer completely different attractions. Head in one direction and you are into the heart of the coffee producing area near to Pereira, in another and you could reach the Nevado de Ruiz near Manizales, ideal for climbing and trekking. Adventure sports can be tempered by cultural activities and nights out in Medellin.
