ENJOY AND CONNECT WITH WATER In this part of the experience we explore the beautiful Quebrada Santa Gertrudis, a clear water gulch surrounded by natural forest near Cisneros. During the tour we will learn about the origin of these waters, which originate in the mountains near the municipality of Santo Domingo, and about the importance of high mountain ecosystems and water sources that feed rivers and ravines in Antioquia. The hike follows the course of the ravine through a quiet forest, where we can enjoy several natural pools and small waterfalls. This moment of experience is focused on relaxing, enjoying the water and connecting with the natural wealth of the territory.

In this part of the experience we walked along ancient horseshoe paths that historically connected the municipalities of Cisneros and Santo Domingo. These ancestral trails were for many years fundamental routes for local communities and regional trade. During the tour we will talk about the history and legacy of the muleteers, who played a key role in the development of Antioquia transporting goods, connecting villages and contributing to the growth of the region long before the construction of modern roads. Walking along these trails allows us to better understand the history of the territory while enjoying the natural landscape and cultural heritage of the region.

In this part of the experience we walk through the traditional streets of Cisneros while discovering the history that shaped the municipality. Travelers will learn about the importance of the historic Antioquia Railway, a major engineering project that transformed transport, trade and social life in the region. As we tour the village we will talk about how the railway influenced the growth of Cisneros, its culture and the daily life of the local community. During this stop we will also enjoy a typical lunch of the region, tasting local flavors and a delicious coffee grown in these same lands.

This experience is guided by Natives of the Mount, accompanied by Julian, a local host who has grown up traveling the mountains, rivers and trails of this region. More than a traditional tour, the idea of Nativos del Monte is that travelers can explore Colombia as if they were with a local friend. The experience is lived in a relaxed and authentic way, sharing stories, culture and the daily spirit of the territory while discovering incredible places away from mass tourism. Local recommendations are also shared during the tour and a close environment is created to really connect with the place and its people. It’s not just about guiding a path, but sharing moments, learning together and living Colombia in a genuine way.
