The Manto de la Novia, one of the most iconic waterfalls in southwestern Antioquia, is established as a key tourist attraction in the region; located in the San Antonio area, an area that is considered the water pantry of the people of Tames.
Its name refers to the fact that the waterfall, about 15 metres high, forms a kind of bride’s cloak.
For those who wish to visit El Manto de la Novia, the municipality of Támesis is approximately 3 hours from Medellín, with access by public transport from the southern terminal, through companies such as Sotrames.
Upon arrival at the town, visitors can take a mototaxi from the main park or opt for a 30-minute walk to the waterfall.
What are the tourist attractions of this place?
The Manto de la Novia stands out for its natural beauty, with a waterfall of crystal-clear water that falls from a considerable height, ideal for activities such as hiking and landscape photography.
In addition, the surrounding area offers multiple opportunities for ecotourism, such as bird watching and eco-trail tours.
For example, local authorities recommend visiting the site during the dry season, which runs from December to March and from June to August, to avoid inconveniences caused by rain, which can affect access routes and make the trails more slippery.
Safety measures and recommendations
Visitors are reminded to wear appropriate hiking footwear and follow the recommendations of local guides to ensure a safe experience.
It is also advisable to bring water and food, as there are no commercial facilities near the waterfall.
