What you can expect
Situated within the breathtaking Protected Forest Reserve Arvi Park at an elevation of 2,195 metres, lies a haven teeming with diverse wildlife. This sanctuary is home to approximately 69 species of birds, 19 species of mammals, and 41 species of amphibians and reptiles. The climate prevailing in this region is predominantly cold, with temperatures ranging from 12 to 18 degrees Celsius. Enveloped in a humid tropical mountain environment, the area boasts an abundance of cloud forests.
A mere half-hour drive from the Arvi Park walkers entrance, one embarks on a journey along the historic path of the old Medellin-Bogota highway, once traversed by the Antioquian farmers known as “Arrieros.” In times past, these hardworking individuals transported a myriad of goods, animals, and food on the backs of mules, catering to the needs of various small towns' markets.
The destination is an enchanting traditional Antioquian farm, spanning 18 hectares and perched at an altitude of 2,200 metres above sea level. Within these picturesque surroundings, speciality coffee, corn, and spring onions are lovingly cultivated.
Immerse yourself in a transformative experience that rejuvenates both body and mind. Partake in the Social Temazcal, a group practice centred around the medicinal properties of steam, seeking relaxation and purification. Rooted in ancient traditions, this Pre-Hispanic Ritual of Steam Coffee Therapy symbolically represents the womb of Mother Earth, nourishing physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. Indulge in a steam bath infused with medicinal herbs and undergo a Full Body Exfoliation Coffee Therapy ritual that serves hygienic, therapeutic, and spiritual purposes. This revitalising treatment soothes the skin, alleviates stress, releases emotional burdens, combats insomnia, and relieves nervous tension. Furthermore, it stimulates the hormonal system, purifies the blood by eliminating toxins and impurities through sweat, and invigorates the nervous system.
Take a refreshing dip in the Manantial Naox Spring Water Pool, blessed with organic vegetable decomposition substances from the forest. These natural elements, including herbs and plants, enhance the water's properties and endow it with enriching enzymes, minerals, and vitamins that bestow invaluable benefits upon the skin, combating cellulite and promoting overall wellness. The pool's soothing waters alleviate muscle tension and provide relaxation, making it a favourite among athletes.
This extraordinary experience is available from Tuesday to Sunday. The meeting point is at the Arvi Park entrance at 10:00 am, and the excursion concludes at approximately 2:00 pm, returning to the cable car entrance.
