Discover the cultural and natural wealth of Antioquia on a tour that will take you through the history and traditions of the region. You will visit the Placita de Flórez, a historic market square where peasants, known as silleteros, used to sell the products and flowers from their plots. The silleteros, fundamental to Antioquia's history, used silletas (chairs) to transport goods and people when roads were impassable. This ingenious tradition is still reflected in the region.
You will visit the town of Santa Elena and Parque Arví, where we will explore a traditional peasant market. There, you can purchase fresh products and handicrafts from the district. Finally, you will visit the silletera farm, El Pensamiento, where you will discover the artisanal process of making a silleta, similar to those exhibited in the annual silleteros parade during the Feria de las Flores.
Note: The peasant market is closed on the first business day of the week, so we will visit the main park of Santa Elena instead.
