I didn't expect it was going to be so big!!! You can everything you want in one place, good stores, excellent restaurants, a game zone for kids, movie theater, you name it! I really like it
the shopping center Santa Fe is very big. You can find everything in this mall.On the 3rd and 4th floor there are many different restaurants / take away. Everyone can finds something to eat.
It is great place to go shopping and sight seeing also. Have many things around to look at and take photos.
lots of brands are present. Nice setting, Well kept, good food courts and restaurants. Jumbo supermarket in the basement.In general prices aseem to be better than in Brazil.
The mall is very new and they have a lot of nice stores. I like to spend some time there and go through all the shops. I usually never end up buying anything, as there are a lot of cheaper options for shopping in Medellin. The food court is nice and there are options for everyone. All in all I recommend a visit.
The Santa Fe shopping center in El Poblado could teach the USA a few lessons in how to serve and keep customers.It is enormous, with several distinct areas all marked by signs so you can find your way back. It has six floors of parking underneath, with a free artificial vision system to show you where your car is. All you have to do is type in your license plate number, and it tells you where it is.Another innovation that I love is that they provide plenty of comfortable seating all through the mall. Not just hard plastic bus terminal seats, either, but lovely couches and armchairs in cozy clusters. That lets guys like me sit in comfort, enjoying free high-speed WiFi, while our wives go through the shops to build the local economy. I bet the couches paid for themselves in less than a month.On Sunday I was surprised to hear a church service going on in one branch of the mall. Several hundred people were seated in comfort, while some stood. The acoustics were fine. What a great idea for multiple use of this fine facility.The area surrounding the Santa Fe mall is high end, with fine hotels and banks all over the place. It is called the Golden Mile for a reason. There are a lot of banks represented in the mall as well, in case you need to get a refill to keep the little lady going.The two levels of food shops offer all kinds of fare, with a glass-wall balcony giving an awesome view if you dine on the patio. The variety of stores on the other floors is very wide, with many N. American brands having weaseled in somehow. The whole mall is very accessible, with escalators and super-smooth, silent Mitsubishi glass elevators as well as marble staircases. I also appreciated the electrically operated roofs over the various courts, allowing sun and fresh air to grace the shoppers. It was also great to shop at a real farmer's market in the largest courtyard on the weekend. All manner of fresh fruits, veggies and other delights such as honey were available. My favorite find there was a chap making guarapo, a fantastic natural drink made solely from sugar cane and limes, pressed through a heavy duty gear extractor right before our eyes. I always ask for it "sin hielo" so they do not give you half a glass of ice with a smaller amount of the life-giving guarapo. Few things are as refreshing on a warm Medellín day.My wife is very picky about baños (bathrooms), but went out of her way to exclaim on the cleanliness and beauty of the Santa Fe facilities. I agree.You can get to the Santa Fe mall by a 15-minute walk uphill from the Aguacatala Metro station. Another way we like is to get off at El Poblado and walk up to the Golden Mile, turning right after Parque El Poblado. It takes about twenty minutes from El Poblado station, unless you stop to stare at the beautiful buildings along the route, as we do.Highly recommended!
Visited twice during my trip to Medellin and was impressed. First time was only to window shop, checking out the vast array of shops ranging from local brands, to your overseas fashion labels,plus much more.The food choices are impressive, ranging from fast food and otherwise.The views as well from the top level food court were simply stunning.You can definitely find everything here!
Santa Fe is a great modern mall in the Poblado district of Medellin. It is large and has a good variety of both Colombian designer and more international brands. There are good places to eat and have coffee, plus a large supermarket. It is an easy 15 minute walk along Avenida Poblado from Parque Poblado, so very handy if you're staying in that area (which I definitely recommend as the best area to stay in Medellin).
We went there like 3 times.... A lot of shopping to do and the food court is just amazing. Very delicious foods.
The food cort in this mall was great and the stores were really good, there is plenty of ATM's, Juan Valdez coffe shop in the first floor and a grocery store.
