In 1813, when Santa Fe was declared an independent state, Santa Fe de Antioquia was named as its capital, but remained so for only 13 years. In 1826, Medell\u00edn was to become the new host to the political and industrial hub of the area. Fortunately for visitors to the area, this left Santa Fe de Antioquia somewhat forgotten by modern industrial and urban development and, as such, the town still looks much the same as it did in the 1800s.<\/p>\n<p>Santa Fe de Antioquia is a great place to visit on a day-trip from Medell\u00edn. The climate is slightly hotter than that in Medell\u00edn, and wandering the enchanting colonial streets is a great way to relax and escape the bustle of city life. From Santa Fe de Antioquia you can ride bikes or horses into the nearby countryside, admiring the rolling hills that decorate the area. You can also visit the impressive Puenta de Occidente, a Colombian landmark and one of the first suspension bridges in South America.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.seecolombia.travel\" target=\"_blank\">See Colombia Travel<\/a> offer <a href=\"http:\/\/seecolombia.travel\/tours\/santa-fe-de-antioquia\/\">Santa Fe de Antioquia tours<\/a> that allow you to visit this rustic town, and they even provide access to a private swimming pool at the end of the day. <em>\u00a1Que bueno!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Ryan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>50 miles north of the strikingly modern urban landscape of Medell\u00edn is a quaint, charming town called Santa Fe de Antioquia.
