The small town of Santa Elena is located just east of Medellin, in the mountainside and approximately 10 miles away from the city center. The weather is normally cooler due to its elevation and its soils are rich with nutrients that local farmers enjoy for growing an abundance of tropical and local varieties of flowers, may of which are exported to international markets abroad. Santa Elena is also the birthplace of the ornate flower arrangements called silletas that are the cornerstone of the Flower Festival or Feria de Las Flores in Medellin. Held every year in August (typically a dry month for Medellin), this festival incorporates the local flower growers of Santa Elena. Inhabitants from the different villages (called veredas) build amazing works of art with the seasonal flowers. These pieces are built using natural materials including a wooden base upon which a wide variety of flowers are decorated. Afterwards, the Silleteros march down from the mountainside village of Santa Elena with the designs strapped to their backs (called silletas). Many citizens and tourists alike make a pilgrimage every year to the small town of Santa Elena the night before the parade in order to witness the artistic construction of their designs and to toast their work. Santa Elena also offers year-round attractions as well to local, national and foreign visitors. One of these ecological marvels is Arví Natural Park, with its expansive 28,000 acres of natural reserve that extends into the municipalities of Medellin, Bello, Copacabana and Envigado. Sunsets from the ecological park are very popular and attract many visitors who wish to see their beauty. Viewpoints such as La Laguna, Patio Bonito, La Meseta, La Paloma and Cerro Verde offer a wide variety of visual gratification as one takes in the lush green surroundings of the area. The park can be accessed from multiple locations including the township of Santa Elena.
