MUTATÁ (Antioquia) COL

Mutatá or Río de Piedra in Embera, is located in Urabá Antioqueño, 5 hours from Medellín, is a municipality with great water wealth, 12 rivers cross it and a destination that today bets on community ecotourism.

A destination with emerald green rivers and waterfalls for nature lovers, this place was hidden for a long time due to violence but today they see tourism as an opportunity to reinvent themselves.

TO DO?

I was on a 3-day getaway and these are the places I visited:

💧Río Bedó Caverns: (from $45,000 COP) is very close to the road, it does not require much walking.

💧 Puentiadero: this river is the most visited in this destination since it is very close to the urban area, it does not require a guide to visit it.

💧 The Salto del Tigre: (from $70,000 COP) requires a walk of approximately 1 hour and a half in the middle of nature.

💧 Chontadural: (from $70,000 COP) requires a walk of approximately 1 hour and a half in the middle of nature.

🍃 Jaikerazabi Indigenous Reservation: you can visit this reservation at no cost and it is located along the entire main road before reaching Mutatá if you come from Medellín.

You can get to know these places from the hand of a local guide, I share the contact of the one who was my guide:
