The flower culture of Medellín also lives outside the festival route. In Santa Elena, a farm visit can bring you closer to the work, memories and family traditions behind the silletas.
Begin with the people
A family farm offers a different perspective from a large event. Take time to listen to the hosts, learn about flower growing and understand how the tradition is passed on. Visits must be arranged in advance.
If you travel during the festival
Tell us your dates and the activities that interest you. We will use the official programme and confirmed availability when shaping a proposal. Festival admission, reserved seats and parade access are separate arrangements unless expressly included.
Consider the rural setting
Bring a layer for cooler weather and shoes suitable for outdoor paths. If you want to combine the visit with Arví or a cable-car ride, discuss the time available and current operating conditions with your guide.
