Hotels in Antioquia, Colombia
Antioquia is a mountainous department in northwestern Colombia, famous for its lush coffee plantations and the vibrant city of Medellín, often called the 'City of Eternal Spring' with temperatures averaging 72°F (22°C) year-round. The dry season from December to February is perfect for hiking to the top of El Peñón de Guatapé-a 650-foot granite monolith with 708 steps offering panoramic views of the surrounding lakes-or for a coffee tour at a finca in the rolling hills of Jardín. During the rainier months from April to May and October to November, you can explore Medellín's Comuna 13 street art and hear live reggaeton and salsa in local clubs, while finding cheaper hotel rates and fewer tourists.
