If you’re in Guática and feeling adventurous, you can head to the small village of Santa Ana. It’s located down the road from Guática, well off the beaten path. It’s also part of the UNESCO World Heritage listed Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia.

 

Waterfall

Shortly after leaving Guática, there’s a waterfall and a nice river along the way and excellent views of Guática.

Plaza

Once you make it to the village, you’ll find a nice plaza with a couple places to get coffee or food. On one side, there’s the small Church of Our Lady of Mount Carmel (Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Carmen).

Outside of Town

If you REALLY want to do some exploring, you can head out of town and up into the hills. There are plenty of dramatic views on a small road that leads up to some coffee farms just above the village. It’s a rough road to travel on with a motorcycle but the views are well worth it.

Getting There

Ask a local in Guática how to find the road to Santa Ana. If you don’t have your own transportation, Cootransbel offers an infrequent bus service from Pereira via Belén de Umbría.
