A tour through urban art and the social transformation of Medellín via its electric escalators and graffiti. It's an immersive experience where hip-hop and art tell the neighborhood's story of resilience.
Climb the 740 steps to enjoy one of the best views in the world over the Guatapé reservoir. A physical effort that rewards you with a 360-degree panorama of green islands and turquoise waters.
Home to the largest collection of works by master Fernando Botero right in downtown Medellín. Discover the pre-Columbian, colonial, and contemporary history of the region through its halls.
The region's signature dish. You cannot leave Medellín without trying an authentic bandeja paisa, full of beans, pork crackling (chicharrón), sweet plantains, and ground beef. For the best traditional experience, we suggest highly recommended local spots.
Medellín and its surroundings have some of the best coffee farms. If you don't have time to visit a farm, the Provenza neighborhood concentrates the most awarded specialty cafes, where you can taste pour-overs of beans grown in the Antioquian mountains.
Things you won't find in a regular guidebook.
The weather in Medellín is spring-like all year round, but it can rain in the afternoons. Always bring a light jacket.
The Metro is the fastest and safest way to move around the city.
If you go to Guatapé, try to go on a weekday to avoid crowds.
