We begin our journey to the charming district of Santa Elena, the birthplace of the silleteros. During the journey, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the Antioquian mountains while you disconnect from the urban rhythm and connect with the soul of the countryside.
Our first experience will be at the Arví Park Natural Reserve, a green lung full of biodiversity. There, we will take a light walk along trails surrounded by native forests and visit the famous farmers market, where you can buy fresh produce, handicrafts, and typical delicacies directly from local producers.
Then, we will arrive at the beautiful El Pensamiento farm, where the silletero farmers will greet you with a warm welcome and a delicious canelazo, a traditional drink that warms the soul. The best begins here:
Grab your silleta, walk proudly among the flowers, and feel part of this unique tradition. Take advantage of the scenery to capture your best moments, share your photos using #TourDeLasFlores and tag us on Instagram: @caminoscolombia. We want to see your experience blossom!
Does the silleta owe its name to its shape and the use it was given years ago? This was used as a means of transportation by the silleteros to go down from the mountains to Medellin, carrying their flowers and people.
Start the day with the best energy, because today you will experience one of the most iconic and colorful events in Colombia!
Around 9:00 a.m., we will pick you up at a meeting point to take you to the heart of the party: the iconic Silleteros Parade, the jewel of the Flower Festival.
🎁 To ensure you experience this authentic Paisa experience, you'll receive a special souvenir: a poncho and a traditional hat, perfect for feeling part of this cultural celebration.
We offer a delicious brunch lunch, refreshments, and beer (2 per person) so you can enjoy the parade in all the comfort you deserve. Our team will provide you with assistance and attention throughout the event, so you can only worry about applauding and being excited.
Throughout the activity, you will have customized assistance from our logistics staff and assistance insurance so you can enjoy it with complete peace of mind.
At the end of the parade, we will transfer you back to the meeting point and, if you wish, we will take you directly to the airport for your return flight.
Extend your stay! You can add an extra night to continue exploring the magic of Medellín and its surroundings.
The Silleteros Parade has been officially held in Medellin since 1957 and was born as a boost to the market for flowers grown by farmers who live in rural areas surrounding the city, especially the town of Santa Elena.
