Santa Fe de Antioquia Town Square
In the opposite direction, about two hours west of Medellin is the town of Santa Fe de Antioquia. The town square
and side streets are so picturesque—just wander and enjoy. We found an outdoor café, chatted up one of the local
kids, and observed the hustle and bustle of town life. Afterward we hired a taxi to visit the Puente de Occidente, a
suspension bridge over the Cauca River—one of the oldest in South America. You can walk over the bridge (watch
out for missing planks), under the bridge, and even above the bridge!
