Towns near Medellín, Colombia: San Antonio de Pereira’s sweet delights (Puebleando)
I would say of my top 5 towns to visit right outside of Medellín, San Antonio de Pereira is one of them. It’s most famous for all the artisanal desserts they offer in the town center. The town is a quick ride outside of Medellín, a little over an hour depending on your pace and if you stop. The ride is beautiful and you go through el Retiro to arrive in Rionegro. You pass many shops along the way and places to buy custom furniture and many things made out of wood like large tables. It’s a beautiful ride through the mountains going above Medellín.
While we were riding we saw a beautiful church called the Caballeros de la Virgen. It looked magical above in the mountains. We had to go explore and we got some cool shots with the drone.
All and all I loved San Antonio de Pereira. I think it’s a nice little excursion away from the city. There are also lots of little places to stop along the way. The restaurant we ate at was great. There are some interesting antique and arts stores if you like that type of thing. It’s a great little adventure especially on a moto.

    Nice to meet you Rob, I also love the nature in Medallo. The closeness and interwovenness of it all. Especially the little parks everywhere that aren't official parks just spaces between buildings they leave green. Also good to know, there's fake plane tickets you can buy for like $5-20 online, I used one to get here, but glad it all worked out for you. The fact that you can get to a national park without leaving the Metro is just insane.

    Man, I am HOOKED on Colombia, specifically Medellin! I first visited in August of 2021 and have been back twice since. I'm headed back at the end of July and trying to get a trip in around September. I'm from New Orleans, so we all are friendly just like there. I've since got a girlfriend there and we're doing great! I'm almost at the point of retirement so me and my brother from another mother are looking to cop a spot around the Itagui area. I saw some spots there last time, but only on the outside. We want to go in some of the spots the next time. I dont plan to give up my home here in the US, and I want us to travel the US once I fully retire in a camper, but I WILL move to Medellin, please believe. I love nature as well! Everything and everyone is so genuine. I'm from the projects in New Orleans, so game recognize game, ya feel me? But I don't get off into any of that. I don't smoke, drink, or do drugs. My girl is my speed and around my age. She is on my wavelength so we vibe very well and I love her family and her family loves me.. Thanks for sharing your experience, brother!I hope to see you there one day!
