Its high hills remind of mule drivers bringing goods from the civilized world. Since they are the only ones capable of challenging the rough settings of this part of Antioquia, the mules can still be seen carrying produce. Looking at the town with its leathersmiths, craftsmen, and farmers is like going back in time. Locals and tourists enjoy swimming in the rivers not far away from the charming streets of this pueblo.
