Retiro is a charming town in Antioquia, Colombia, known for its historical significance and natural beauty. With a population of around 20,700, it offers a unique blend of culture and outdoor adventures. Visitors can explore the San Sebastián La Castellana Ecological Reserve, a lush tropical rainforest area located between El Retiro and Envigado. The town's history dates back to the 18th century when Don Ignacio Castañeda and his wife, Doña Javiera Londoño, settled here and played a key role in the region's development. Whether you're into history, nature, or just looking for a peaceful getaway, Retiro has something for everyone.
