Calle Real is easily the highlight of Santuario, a town located in the UNESCO World Heritage listed Coffee Cultural Landscape of Colombia.
Calle Real
This street approaching the town plaza is only a block long but lined with a collection of colorful colonial buildings. They contain residences and small local shops, including clothing stores, a barber shop, convenience stores, and more.
The view into the plaza and the church towering over it as you approach the town is stunning.
Balconies and Doors
What makes the street so special are the beautifully colored balconies and doors on every single building. Some of them contain elaborate woodwork, and all are painted in different colors. No matter how many times you visit, walking down Calle Real never gets old and the colors sometimes change.
Opposite End
At the end opposite the plaza, the street has a steep drop where you can look across at the green mountains surrounding the town. The street leading to the town’s entrance is also full of colorful buildings.
