Things To Do

Oh Medellin! The city of eternal spring! We're so excited to share our favorite places to visit and eat. There is so much to see, so much to eat... Be prepared to love Medellin as much as we do!
Guatapé

Guatapé

Guatapé, Antioquia, Colombia

Our favorite thing to do in Medellin: GUATAPE. Guatape is a picturesque, colorful lake town about two hours outside the city. It’s the must-do day trip. It’s even better if you’ve got a night or two to spare there. Visit the Plaza de Zocalos for the most colorful town square in Colombia. You can also rent boats/jet skis to go around the lake. The most popular activity in town, however, is climbing the 740 steps up El Peñol, a giant rock, for an amazing view of the islands and water beneath. Please make sure to get the MANGO BEER MICHELADA at the top. Hotels we recommend: -The Boato Hotel -Bosko -Bubblesky Glamping Guatape -Mylos Hotel Boutique -The Brown, Guatape, Autograph Collection Check out Airbnb or Booking.com for more!

Jardín Botánico de Medellín

Jardín Botánico de Medellín

51d-14 Calle 73, Medellín, Antioquia 050010, Colombia

Medellin's Botanical Garden. A natural oasis in the center of the city. The gardens contain more than 1,000 species of wildlife and 4,500 flowers.

Comuna 13

Comuna 13

Carrera 110, Medellín, Antioquia 050028, Colombia

Back in the times of Pablo Escobar Comuna 13 used to be one of the most dangerous "barrios" in the world. Nowadays it's very safe. The addition of colorful artwork, escalators, and increased safety measures have opened the neighborhood up to tourism and brought the community closer together. We definitely recommend you stopping by. The views of the city are great from here as well.

Parque Arví

Parque Arví

Antioquia, Colombia

A visit to Parque Arví, located in the hills overlooking Medellín, is a must for nature lovers. The park is home to over 15,000 species of plants and animals, as well as numerous hiking trails. The best and cheapest way to get to Parque Arví is to take the Medellín metro system. From Poblado station, expect a roughly 1-hour journey to get to the park. Firstly, you'll want to take the A line to Acevedo station. Next, transfer to the K-Line to take the metrocable to Santo Domingo. From here, transfer again to the L Line and get off at Parque Arví. The park is open every day from 09:00 am – 04:00 pm. The admission cost to the park is around $50,000 COP for foreigners and $15,000 COP for national visitors.

El Castillo Museum and Gardens

El Castillo Museum and Gardens

32-269 Calle 9 Sur, Medellín, Antioquia 050022, Colombia

Check out this French-inspired, 20th-century castle and its gardens, fountains, and pathways. Take a little tour to see the inside as well, with its four-poster beds, porcelain collection, and giant dining room table. It was built in 1930 and it opened as a museum in 1971, but in between those years it served as a home for the wealthy and a place for entertaining high society visitors from Europe.

Pueblito Paisa

Pueblito Paisa

Pueblito Paisa, Antioquia 050030, Colombia

Pueblito Paisa is a tiny replica of a traditional Antioquian village and is located named Cerro Nutibara. This is a great place to visit to see colorful buildings and get a taste of traditional architecture. There is also a small museum on-site chronicling the history of the city. However, perhaps the biggest draw to this attraction is the incredible view from the top. Due to the central location, you'll get amazing views over the city and its many comunas and barrios.
