You arrive onto a shaded plaza where color and wood smoke meet—bright shops ring the main park, church bells mark the hour, and the air carries the distant hum of a workshop still forging rails by hand. Jericó sits on a steep slope of the Western Andes; the town’s compact streets climb toward Cristo Rey, which rewards the ascent with broad views over patchwork coffee farms and rippling ridgelines.
