The word Paisa refers to a regional subculture of Colombia and is commonly associated with the smaller, rural towns of Antioquia, the state surrounding Medellín.

"El Retiro" is known for its beautiful plazas and talent in woodworking. Here, we will stroll around the town, learn about the traditional Paisa culture, and admire the quaint streets.

We’ll have the chance to enter a workshop to marvel at experts creating and meticulously painting their work, after which we will have the chance to purchase some of these masterpieces.
