Montebello, Mountain municipality in Antioquia Department, Colombia
Montebello sits at an elevation of 2,350 meters in the Colombian Andes, surrounded by coffee plantations and agricultural lands across rolling hills.
The settlement, established in 1619 as Sabaletas, became a crucial connection point between the provinces of Antioquia and Popayán during colonial times.
The Church of Nuestra Señora de las Mercedes stands in the center of Montebello, representing the religious heritage of this mountain community.
Travelers reach Montebello from Medellín by taking the road to Santa Bárbara and following the Zarcitos trail through the mountainous terrain.
