Yarumal is a town in the department of Antioquia, about three hours from Medellín. We spent the night there to break up a long drive to Montería. It’s not a touristic destination, but we found it to be a friendly town.

El Carmen de Viboral is the ceramics capital of Colombia. The ceramic pieces manufactured there are unique in the world.
Zipaquirá is an attractive town in the Cundinamarca department of Colombia. The Salt Cathedral makes it a popular day trip from Bogotá.
The town of Nemocón is fairly small but beautiful. It’s worth wandering through town and visiting the Nemocón Salt Mine.
El Infiernito is just outside Villa de Leyva. It’s an archaeological site related to the indigenous Muisca people who once lived in Boyacá.
The small town of Tinjacá, located between Villa de Leyva and Ráquira, has a unique artisan craft that makes the town worthy of a detour.
