RIDE DESCRIPTION
Jercio is an awesome little town about 3 hours outside of Medellin and makes a great motorcycle day trip from Medellin. The road to get there is absolutely beautiful and there are tons of activities in town. Lots of people talk about visiting Jardin but in my opinion its and the drive isn't as cool and I really recommend Jerico.
ROUTE MAPS & NOTES
IS COLOMBIA SAFE?
The answer is a resounding YES. Colombia is exactly the opposite of what Netflix Narcos series portrays. People have to realize that Pablo Escobar was killed three decades ago. We've led hundreds of tours around the country and have never had any problems with security.
Anthony Bourdain summed it up perfectly:
"If you want to find bad people in Colombia, you can surely find them, as you could in New York or Los Angeles. But nowhere have my crew and I been treated better or with more kindness and generosity. I'd bring my family on vacation there in a heartbeat. And hope to soon. As I said before: Colombians are proud. Let them show you what they are proud of."
ITINERARY
Say Hi to Pablo
Start off at your hotel in Medellin and start heading south towards Envigado and Itagui. On your way out of town you can stop by Cemetario Jardins Montesacro and visit Pablo Escobar’s grave site which has become a huge tourist attraction in Medellín due to the popular Narcos series and the notoriety of Pablo Escobar.
Restaurant with a View
After an hour or so of driving through the beautiful mountains and scenery there is an awesome restaurant called Santo Tomas Parrilla Bar. You can have coffee and arepas on the deck that looks out over the valley with a view of Cerro Tusa, the biggest natural pyramid in the world, in the background.
Twists, Turns and Spectacular Views
After a short break you head further south before turning off the main road and start winding up into the mountains on our way to Jerico. This road is awesome and has tons of twists and turns as well as spectacular views of the green valley below. There are a couple local restaurants there that have beautiful overlooks of the valley. I recommend stopping at one of them before continuing the rest of the way to Jerico.
Time to Chill
Once in Jerico you have the opportunity to hang out and have lunch in the main square. You can also go paragliding or visit some of the churches in the town. Another cool place to stop is the top of Morro El Salvador for an absolutely incredible view of the town surrounded by mountains.
After a hanging out in Jerico we will head back to Medellin.
Things to do
Jericó is undoubtedly one of the best places in Colombia to go paragliding. the views around Jericó are incomparable. Here, you can soar past huge, lush mountains, through the valley and across the Piedras River. There is nothing quite like flying through the thick clouds, next to the eagles who make this beautiful region their home.
