About

Medellin

Medellin, one of the largest cities in Colombia is located in a beautiful valley, complimented by hospitable locals, perfect weather and lovely sights. It was voted the Most Innovative City of 2013 in recognition of its rapid modernisation, a huge step up from its Pablo Escobar influenced days. That Medellin was home to Fernando Botero will be fairly obvious when one visits the Museo de Antioquia and the Plaza Botero displaying the famous Columbian artists’ works in their full glory. And what better way to get a glimpse into the local Medellin ways than to dance the night away with the “paisas” or have a typical Columbian lunch of Mondongo and Bandeja Paisa. Your Medellin Tour Guide would urge you to visit the city in the winter months to enjoy Los Alumbrados (the lighted decorations); after all it is the best-decorated city in Latin America for Christmas. Which ever time of the year you visit, be sure to travel on the Metrocable to get spectacular views of the city; for a birds eye view of the surrounding mountains, valleys and river, there’s always paragliding!
