The word Paisa refers to a regional subculture of Colombia and is commonly associated with the smaller, rural towns of Antioquia, the state surrounding Medellín. Rather than reading about it, this tour will show you what Paisa truly means. The traditional Colombian culture still exists and each small town is boasting its own specialty. "El Retiro" is known for its beautiful plazas and talent in woodworking. Here, we will stroll around the town, learn about the traditional Paisa culture, and admire the quaint streets. "El Carmen de Viboral" centers on ceramics and its community are full of masters. We’ll have the chance to enter a workshop to marvel at experts creating and meticulously painting their work, after which we will have the chance to purchase some of these masterpieces. San Antonio de Pereira’s claim to fame is its local desserts, which are ideal for those with a sweet tooth, who want to sweeten up this full-day tour!
