San Luis

San Luis is a municipality in Eastern Antioquia with mixed agricultural and forested areas across its terrain. The town lies at a mid-elevation setting where rivers and waterfalls flow through the surrounding landscape.

The settlement started in 1875 from a trading post and became officially established the following year. Its location between key regions made it an important stopping point for commerce and movement through the area.

The Fiestas de la Madera bring people together to celebrate the wood industry that shapes daily life here. Locals take pride in showing how forestry connects them to the land and to each other.

The town sits in a hilly region connected to several neighboring municipalities by local roads. Visiting is easiest during the drier season when paths and access routes are in better condition.

The Cascada la Cuba waterfall and the El Dormilón river attract visitors looking to experience the natural surroundings. These spots are where locals go when they want to spend time outdoors near flowing water.
